QNX, Rational Demonstrate New Level of Tool-to-Tool Integration

     * ESC demo highlights Rational ClearCase running in new QNX IDE.
     * Demonstrates how QNX IDE can work seamlessly with third-party Eclipse-
       based tools.
     * Visitors to ESC can catch demo at booth #818.

    EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO, March 12 /PRNewswire/ --
Engineers from Rational Software and QNX Software Systems today demonstrated a
new level of tool-to-tool integration for embedded development, made possible
by the Eclipse-based QNX(R) integrated development environment (IDE).
    "We're raising the bar for ease of interoperability between tools," said
Linda Campbell, vice president of strategic alliances at QNX. "As the demo
today shows, Rational tools designed for the Eclipse platform can plug into
the new QNX IDE and seamlessly communicate with QNX tools. In fact, when we
first brought the tools together, they 'clicked' almost immediately --- even
though QNX and Rational engineers had been working independently of each other
up to that point. That's a real testament to the inherent interoperability of
this platform."
    Visitors to the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) can catch the demo --
which showcases Rational's ClearCase(R) change-management tool running within
the QNX IDE -- at the QNX booth, #818.
    "As founding members of Eclipse.org, Rational Software and QNX Software
Systems are committed to the goal of out-of-the-box interoperability between
tools," said Dave Bernstein, senior vice president of products, Rational
Software. "The Eclipse platform benefits tool vendors and OS vendors, but most
of all, it benefits developers. Using Eclipse, developers can utilize multiple
interoperating tools without having to master multiple user interfaces. QNX
and Rational look forward to delivering on this promise of interoperability to
embedded developers."

    About the QNX IDE
    The QNX IDE provides a complete toolset for embedded development -- from
code creation to performance analysis -- with all tools tightly integrated
under a single user interface. The tools include a C/C++ code developer that
provides time-saving features like code completion, error parsing, and
templates; a debugger that can debug multiple processes, languages, and
targets simultaneously; a project source manager for handling complex multi-
projects; performance analysis tools for memory usage and profiling; a
flexible target agent architecture for debugging an embedded target over
virtually any connection; and a system builder that lets programmers create
embedded images with point-and-click simplicity.
    Interested developers can register for consideration in the QNX IDE beta
program by visiting http://www.qnx.com/testdrive.

    About Rational ClearCase
    Rational ClearCase offers the essential functions of version control,
workspace management, process configurability, and build management. By
automating many of the necessary, yet error-prone tasks associated with
software development, Rational ClearCase enables teams of all sizes to build
the highest-quality software and Web applications in less time.
