johnrpenner writes " SGI has released "Jessie" - an open source development environment for Linux. It provides an advanced IDE (integrated application environment) with comprehensive debugging tools and a highly graphical interface that eliminates the need for employing older command-line tools." However there doesn't seem to be linkage to anything more than a press release.Update: 09/21 11:41 by H : Check SGI's Jessie site for more information.

    SGI is being an honest and productive participant in the Free Software community. Be nice to them and help them out! I wish Sun had SGI's policies regarding free software.

    Thanks

    Hmm.. It is so damn funny..


    I have never seen more complaining in my life.

    I just came from the Corel thread, COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN.

    SGI Gives away a new IDE.. COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN.



    The funny thing is, I don't see people that actually contribute to the compunity complaining.


    Dean from SGI seems to be running around answering questions, trying to please you babies.



    Just show a bit of grattitude.

    I also contains a little bit of static analysis functionality as well. It doesn't, however, have some of the things that people traditionally consider part of a full IDE [emphasis mine] such as GUI builders, etc. Those will come. Instead of waiting until Jessie was stocked with every conceivable piece of functionality, we decided to launch it into the world so that the community could help influence its evolution, rather than depending on marketing feedback for
    its direction.

    It's in there for several languages (C, C++, Java, and Ada). If you aren't seeing it, please send us the particulars to jessie@sgi.com. That's my code and I am committed to fixing it.

    Also, please send us your required AND desired features list. If you would like to help make those features a reality, please check out the How to Contribute section.
