AccuBridge™ for Eclipse provides developers and release engineers with an out-of-the-box robust integration between AccuRev® software change and configuration management (SCCM) and the industry-leading Eclipse IDE platform. Combining Eclipse with the power of AccuRev software in a single integrated development environment increases the agility, reliability, and quality of your geographically distributed, parallel and Agile software development process.

The Power of AccuRev within Eclipse

AccuBridge for Eclipse enables developers to utilize AccuRev without ever leaving their familiar Eclipse IDE environment. Eclipse developers gain a transparent, stable, and highly functional environment with stream-based process automation and private workspaces for doing complex, distributed application development. This includes performing common operations on workspaces, such as keep, promote, file moves, and file renames. Full integration between Eclipse and AccuRev change packages enables developers and release engineers to update issue status in AccuRev from within Eclipse.

AccuBridge for Eclipse provides a full implementation of the Team Sync View, and shows file decorations for each file's AccuRev status. The AccuRev perspective groups common views together to simplify working with AccuRev in Eclipse.

AccuBridge for Eclipse helps increase the visibility of project activities. For example, icons give visual indicators of file status, such as backed, stale, or overlapped, within Eclipse.  All common AccuRev searches are available from Eclipse so that developers, release engineers, and managers can query the AccuRev server for the latest source code changes. Standard Eclipse views, including History, Team Synchronization, Merge and Diff enable developers to use familiar Eclipse tools backed by the advanced SCM capabilities of AccuRev.

"Integration with the Eclipse IDE was very important to us when selecting our new SCM vendor, as was robust support for release management activities. AccuRev offered parallel development support superior to that of the Eclipse integrations from the other SCM tools we evaluated. In particular, the Team Synchronize view has given our developers a near-seamless migration to AccuRev. We appreciate the attention by AccuRev in keeping the user interface truly integrated with Eclipse and similar to its built-in components, allowing our team to move forward with the new SCM implementation with minimal time lost in training."
