Developer Workflow for Oracle Developer Studio

Oracle Developer Studio provides tools to help the developers to create applications that run on Oracle Solaris. The tools can support developers who want a graphical IDE to manage many development tasks for them, and developers who want to control all aspects of their software development using their own methods.

You do not need to make a commitment to use the IDE or the command line because the tools are designed to be used in any combination. You can create a project in the IDE and still build the source of the project with dmake or make from the command line. You can use Performance Analyzer on the binary of a project you created in the IDE. The IDE keeps its project files separate from the source files so that there is no dependency.

If you are a devoted Emacs or vi user, you can continue to use your accustomed environment and ignore the IDE, but adopt the Oracle Developer Studio compilers and performance tools to make your application run optimally in Oracle Solaris on Oracle Sun hardware.

The following diagram shows the developer workflow for the Oracle Developer Studio tools when developing with or without the graphical IDE.
