Java virtual machine aims for carrier control
NewMonics has developed the first Java virtual machine specifically for use in the product development life cycle of the management and control plane functions of carrier-class products.
These latest releases integrate AonixADT (Ada Development Toolkit), an Eclipse-based development environment, into ObjectAda, providing developers with access to the broad range of tools available through the Eclipse framework.
Aonix has contributed the AonixADT source code as the baseline code for Hibachi, a new open-source Ada development tooling project that complements CDT, the C/C++ development tooling project.
Both of these projects will provide a multilanguage native embedded software project for developers.

Aonix has developed the first language-specific component of SmartKernel, a memory and time-partitioned kernel designed to provide safety and security protection.
In addition to providing access to the broad spectrum of Eclipse-based tools, ObjectAda for Solaris supports a new dynamic debugging facility.
Developers now have run-time debug capabilities and can attach the debug facility in the toolkit to an already running process in the application.
Dynamic debug extends the already powerful debug capability provided in all Aonix native and cross-development products.
Gary Cato, Director of Strategic Alliances at Aonix said "Mission-critical systems are hard enough to develop without spending time and energy dealing with nonstandard tools".
"ObjectAda with Eclipse toolset support provides significant additional development tools while minimising toolset integration and learning-curve overhead".
ObjectAda for Solaris comes with both a graphical and command-line interface, integrated language-sensitive editor, lightweight source-based library model and fast compilation speed.
The ObjectAda for Solaris compilation system is composed of the editor, source-code browser, compiler, debugger and full library manager.
Optional package upgrades can be added to the basic compiler development package, including the ObjectAda Project Pack, which contains the AdaNav toolset.
AdaNav provides complete system HTML source-navigation capabilities as well as call- and unit-tree graphical reporting and automatic data dictionary generation.
The AdaNav profiler also offers run-time performance reporting to identify application hot spots.
ObjectAda Test Pack can also be added, providing VectorCast/Ada a testing tool that significantly reduces the time, effort and cost associated with testing Ada software components necessary for validating safety- and mission-critical systems.
