Tek-Tools Inc. this week released KAWA 4.0, its integrated development environment for
the Java programming language.

This new version of the KAWA IDE features
debugging, project and workspace format in XML along with selected
capabilities of the CodeWright Editor.


This advanced version of KAWA provides developers with everything they need
in an IDE–even including local, remote and distributed debugging. The tool
is compatible with all versions of Sun Microsystems’ JDK, including new
releases. This release of KAWA features an improved Java-based Plug-in
architecture that provides developers with full-featured APIs for
integrating their other tools or applications.


Ken Barth, president of Tek-Tools Inc. is very enthusiastic about this
release.

“KAWA 4.0 incorporates features that our users have
been asking for – better, faster debugging, a solid editor, plus support
for EJB development.”

William Woo, general manager of HP’s Embedded
Software Operation, further commented that “this is another example in a
growing ISV community whose products support ChaiVM, HP’s complete
environment for running Java programming language applications on
information appliances. KAWA is a powerful IDE that offers a rich debugger
interface that works well with ChaiVM, giving developers an easy-to-use
development environment.”


Retail pricing for KAWA 4.0 starts at $129 for a single developer license,
and developers can download KAWA 4.0 as a 30-day free evaluation from the
Tek-Tools Web site.
