Concepts of the Developer Studio
The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio introduces SAP’s own environment for developing Java-based, multiple-layered business applications. The new development environment is based on Eclipse, an open source product, whose open Plug-In Architecture provides a suitable platform for incorporating specific functions.
By offering a single point of entry for all Java development tools and an integration point for all SAP infrastructure components, the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (subsequently abbreviated to Developer Studio) supports you in developing Web Dynpro and J2EE applications. Moreover, it is based on a defined software logistics process. Application developers do not need to switch between different development environments for the presentation and business logic. Instead, they can develop, build, deploy, and execute applications centrally from the Developer Studio.
Thus, the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio offers full support when you develop large-scale Java projects, irrespective of whether you use SAP technologies (such as Web Dynpro, Java Dictionary) or standard technologies (J2SE, J2EE, XML, and so on).
Features
The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio:
· Delivers a robust, fully-integrated development infrastructure, essential in particular for extensive Java projects and for large teams of developers. Thus, the Developer Studio provides a highly productive environment, which covers the whole life cycle for Java projects.
· Reduces the complexity of solutions and increases reusability by providing close support for the component model. All the development objects in a project can be identified by means of a development component.
· Provides a connection to a defined software logistics process offering change management for projects and solutions. This process is triggered directly from the development environment.
· Offers a highly flexible development process, since the Developer Studio can also be used as a local development environment. That is, all sources can be edited and built offline, then deployed and tested on a locally installed server, before being built as components in the central Component Build Service (CBS).
· Provides a complete set of development tools for all aspects of Java business development (such as user interfaces, e-business logic, and Java persistence), and also supports standard technologies as well as SAP technologies and the SAP infrastructure.
· Increases productivity by providing wizards and a variety of graphical editing tools. In particular, developers can count on significantly reducing development costs when creating user interfaces with the Web Dynpro technology.
