“This week at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Jose,
Calif., Cygnus Solutions will release Version 1.0 of its Code
Fusion integrated development environment (IDE) for Linux. Linux
developers will find that Code Fusion’s facilities meet the
challenges of creating C, C++, and Java applications — whether
commercial, corporate, or open source.”

“Although Cygnus Solutions is just out of the gate with its
first Code Fusion release, the company is not new to the Linux
development world. Cygnus officially maintains Linux debugging and
compilation technology, the main Linux system library, an Alpha
processor port of Linux, as well as contributing to other portions
of Linux.”

“For this first commercial version of Code Fusion, the company
has drawn upon its GNUPro compilation technology and its
Source-Navigator source-code analysis, browsing, and management
tool. GNUPro and Source Navigator have a proven track record in the
open-source community and should contribute to Code Fusion’s
stability and performance. In addition, the Cygnus IDE sports
optimization for Pentium II processors and allows for creation of
“Makefiles,” which are useful for open-source projects.”
