AccuRev, a maker of application lifecycle management tools, has announced a series of updates to its Eclipse Plug-in for AccuRev.
The Eclipse Plug-in for AccuRev combines Eclipse
with the power of AccuRev software configuration management in a
single, integrated environment increasing the agility, reliability and
quality of the software development process. Announced at the EclipseCon 2011
conference, which ran March 21-24 in Santa Clara, Calif., the new
improvements optimize the software development process and expose the
capabilities of AccuRev from within the Eclipse integrated development
environment (IDE).
As such, with full support within Eclipse for
AccuRev’s symbolic links and symbolic elements, developers are able to
handle more complex hierarchies during the software development
process. Other improvements to the Eclipse Plug-in for AccuRev include
the addition of powerful timeline-based diff from within Eclipse,
allowing for developers to visually step through historical changes
made to a source file, and enabling users to locate changes between two
points in time. A diff is a file comparison utility that outputs the
differences between two files. It is typically used to show the changes
between one version of a file and a former version of the same file.
Another improvement in the new Eclipse Plug-in for
AccuRev is an update to Issue Diff Against Query in the AccuRev WebUI,
called directly from within Eclipse, which provides audit capability to
track planned content versus actual content, providing fast-paced Agile
teams time-saving capabilities.
The new Eclipse Plug-in for AccuRev also features
advanced support for Eclipse version 3.6, support for Apple Mac OS X
Snow Leopard, and support for IBM Rational Application Development
version 7.5.X.
“AccuRev recognizes that the Eclipse user base
continues to grow, and with this announcement, we’re taking steps to
provide the best Eclipse integrations possible for our customers,” said
Damon Poole, chief technology officer at AccuRev, in a statement.
“With advanced support for complex development hierarchies, improved
visibility into locating changes, and support for fast-paced Agile
teams, the Eclipse Plug-in for AccuRev meets the requirements of
today’s fast-paced development teams.”
