Embedded developers who choose the QNX RTOS for its unmatched reliability will soon have another reason to use QNX technology: significantly faster development cycles. This is all thanks to the new QNX integrated development environment (IDE), to be showcased next week at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in San Francisco. Show attendees can have a sneak peek at this QNX offering in booth #818.The new QNX IDE will offer a complete set of tools for code development, project management, debugging, analysis, and profiling, all closely integrated under a single user interface. The QNX IDE will also work across multiple development platforms, including Solaris, Windows, and QNX, allowing all embedded developers working on a project to share the same toolset, even if they use a variety of development hosts.
As the first commercial IDE based on the Eclipse platform, the QNX IDE also provides unparalleled tool-to-tool integration, both at the functional and user-interface levels. Tools can work together seamlessly – even if they are from different tools vendors – allowing developers to choose the best tools available for their project requirements.
OSNews will soon have access to a preview version of the QNX IDE, so expect a preview soon.
The only reason why I stopped to use QNX-RTOS was the lack of a good IDE (sorry, but I can’t stand any old fashion *nix editors like the emacs et al)…
Maybe I’ll return to the QNX sooner than I expected … 🙂
mind you it will be written in java
Oh, embedded software developers choose QNX because it has unmatched reliability, huh? Sounds like somebody got paid off to write a little blurb about QNX…

Well, QNX have the “System Critical” certification, which mean that it can be used in critical applications like medical, airplaines, etc. Which is not the case for any other wide-spread embedded OS I know (except for uCOS-II, but that one is VERY minimal).
I used QNX for embedded device (biometry & smartcard devices), and a bit as desktop. This OS rock, and I don’t need to be paid to say that 🙂
Not more off this pay off crap, for squicks sake Your Friend, go off and be a squiking git somewhere eles. Do you really know anything about QNX, and do you have proof that money was exchanged for the comment? Otherwise you’re well on your way to being a typical jounalist who considers heresay and conjecture undeniabl proof.
Anyway good to see some good news on QNX whiule I wait for 6.2, it would have been nice if there was more than PR on it. Cool how it’s cross platform though.
“mind you it will be written in java”
Good. I’m glad to see an app written in a great language running on a great OS!
So we finaly get a “commercial” IDE for QNX RTOS. That’s just peachy. Now all 7 active developers can use a slow, ugly environment to generate horrid UI code for an OS that draws the dredges of the alt-OS fringe. Will this increase the level of crap being produced for RTOS? Considering how many apps _don’t_ exsist for RTOS, anything that puts mental midgets in control of building a program should cause a nice flux of shit into the app scene. I’m guessing it will be met with two responses: RTOS queers that are desperate for anything new, and linux bitches that yell about vi or emacs being gods true editor.
^^^^^^^^
nice trolling pal
I think your lost spidoodle, mindless mouth shooting belongs at slashdot.
Well with this being a great announcement to the QNX community, I wish them luck and hope to see some more QNX applications in the near future. Real Time Operating Systems are going to pave the way of the future. Even Apple is flirting with the ‘Real Time’ concept, but probably couldn’t match perfs that QNX puts out?!
any screenshots in the mean time?
new ide is a qnx version of eclipse
look at eclipse.org
Obviously the ignorant opinion of someone who only sees QNX as a desktop OS.
‘cuz it’s gay like Ungoliant
will it still have that j9 JVM or a normal J2SE jvm?
Wow, such misinformation in this thread I don’t know where to start.
Spidoodle, grow up and quit trolling. QNX is a consistently profitable, well-established company that, with WindRiver and Symbian, shares the lion share of the licensed embedded OS development market. (OS’s developed in-house, as an aggregate, account for the biggest share of embedded OS use.)
As for unmatched stability, sorry Eugenia…I love you, but WindRiver is widely regarded as actually, really, in this universe or any other, bulleproof. QNX (at least prior to Nuetrino) was regarded as offering all the stability anyone could ask for, which isn’t quite the same thing.
“linux bitches that yell about vi or emacs being gods true editor.”
They are :0)
Of course if you need something with a little more substance try Source Navigator.
