November 2003 -- Today InterACTIVE-Technology released ActiveDeveloper version 2.16 for MacOS X 10.3 and 10.2
- our Runtime Objective-C & C IDE, JIT Compiler and Debugger -- supporting Cocoa, WebKit
and QuickTime
With its "Develop & Continue" ActiveDeveloper takes an Object and Development
oriented approach to merging Objective-C Development and Debugging into ONE single combined activity - as opposed to the more
Debugging and C stack level oriented approach taken in Xcode.
ActiveDeveloper does this by giving you new and live Workspace Editor, Class Editor and Object Browser and object level
operations like Evaluate, Display and Inspect known from IDE's in the Smalltalk roots of the Objective-C language.
ActiveDeveloper version 2.16 has an integration with the new Xcode IDE similar to how it has worked in concert with
Project Builder for the last couple of years - so by adding ActiveDeveloper you can have the best of both worlds.
ActiveDeveloper 2.16 adds support for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther and it's new gcc 3.3, speeding up incremental compilation
more than 50% on most tasks, bringing it's responsiveness back to the level from the gcc 2.x days and beyond.
ActiveDeveloper 2.16 works with "Fix & Continue" and "ZeroLink" options turned both ON or OFF - just as you like.
But since "ZeroLink" downgrades the usefulness of your Development builds, so you can't copy them around your
system anymore or give them out to colleagues or beta testers - we tend to advice ActiveDeveloper users against
using "ZeroLink" - because ActiveDeveloper gives them the same benefits - without the downsides ...
The ActiveDeveloper IDE cuts your API learning curve and scales to Development of any size Project. With ActiveDeveloper
you get an Incremental Objective-C IDE that brings you a lot closer to the Objects you work with ...
All this make ActiveDeveloper version 2.16 the best version ever to evaluate the product.
