click2try(TM) Announces Linux C/C++ Developer Workstation

Provides on-demand, virtualized developer tools to encourage software
innovation

HOUSTON, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- click2try (http://www.click2try.com), a
community site that makes it easy to try and use Open Source software, today
announced that it has added a toolset of powerful and popular development
tools for C/C++ programmers to its online software catalog.

The click2try Linux C/C++ Developer Workstation provides a number of popular
tools bundled into one virtual environment. The main platform is the
EasyEclipse distribution, which provides the Eclipse Platform and the CDT IDE,
as well as Doxygen and Subclipse.

Tens of thousands of developers have adopted the Eclipse platform, which was
released into the Open Source community by IBM in 2001. As a very flexible and
configurable platform, Eclipse supports many different plug-ins and
extensions. This very strength can also make the platform difficult to
configure for new developers. EasyEclipse makes the system much easier to
install and configure by bundling a number of popular tools.

The click2try Linux C/C++ Developer Workstation takes that approach even
farther, by providing additional tools and on-demand access through the
click2try catalog. Developers can try and use EasyEclipse and other
development tools right from a browser instance, without downloading or
installing any software on a local machine. The click2try Linux C/C++
Developer Workstation lets developers get to work immediately, with the click
of a button.

"There's nothing more frustrating that having to spend hours configuring your
IDE when all you want to do is start writing code," says Steve Hayward,
click2try VP of Engineering. "The Developer Workstations let us get to work
right now. And we can easily collaborate and share code with other team
members using the click2try Applications Manager."

Developers can try any of the bundles of applications included in each
click2try Developer Workstation. Anyone can try a temporary version of any
application in the click2try catalog, simply by going to the site and clicking
a button on an application's catalog page. No registration is required. If you
want to save your data, you can register for free on the site and receive a
limited-time access to any of the applications.
