今天在看TheServerSide.Com的时候发现了这么一条新闻:

本来也不是特别感兴趣,因为Visual Studio.Net和Eclipse已经都发展到极至了感觉,要再想超越这两个IDE实在是很困难,但是还是去X-develop的网站看了一下:

X-develop is a new multi-language cross-platform IDE from Omnicore. X-develop targets the .NET platform, the Mono platform and the Java platform. It offers advanced code analysis, project wide on-the-fly error checking, refactoring, smart editing, fast code navigation capabilities and other productivity-boosting features for C#, Java, J# and Visual Basic.NET. X-develop is available for Windows and Linux.

从介绍的幻灯片来看,这个IDE的功能还是很强大的,基本和高级的功能基本都涵盖了,但是我感觉还是没有强大到使开发者更换IDE的程度,因为其他的IDE也都有这些功能或者可以由插件得到.不过它的有一个feature倒是很令我有点吃惊,它的Java Debugger是可以step-back的,也即可以在调试的时候往回退运行程序!有点Word里面”撤销”的感觉,虽然没用过这个IDE,但是这点实在太巧妙了.Silde里面自称是industry-leading,一点也不为过.
