Chapter 1. Introduction to Red Hat CodeReady Studio
CodeReady Studio is a set of Eclipse-based development tools. It contains plug-ins that integrate with Eclipse to extend the existing functionality of the integrated development environment (IDE).
CodeReady Studio is designed to increase your productivity when developing applications. You can focus on building, testing, and deploying your applications because JBoss application development tools are integrated in one IDE. CodeReady Studio can also assist your application development with its unique features in the following ways:
- Develop new applications using the wizards and project examples of Red Hat Central
- Add powerful functionality to applications with minimal effort using Forge Tools
- Build web interfaces with ease using the visual editing and drag-and-drop utilities of Visual Web Tools and Mobile Web Tools
- Incorporate Hibernate, CDI, JAX-RS, JSF, and other popular APIs into applications with simplicity using the tool-driven interface
- Deploy applications to JBoss runtime servers and the cloud using JBoss Server Tools and OpenShift Tools
CodeReady Studio is built around Eclipse and packaged with all the necessary dependencies and third-party plug-ins for simplified installing. For developers already running Eclipse, CodeReady Studio can also be installed through Eclipse Marketplace. Installing CodeReady Studio in an existing Eclipse installation is referred to as BYOE (Bring Your Own Eclipse).
