What is an IDE?

Answer Posted / vinodh anandhan

An integrated development environment (IDE), also known as
integrated design environment and integrated debugging
environment, is a type of computer software that assists
computer programmers in developing software.

IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler
and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and (usually) a
debugger. Sometimes a version control system and various
tools to simplify the construction of a GUI are integrated
as well. Many modern IDEs also integrate a class browser,
an object inspector and a class hierarchy diagram, for use
with object oriented software development. Although some
multiple-language IDEs are in use, such as the Eclipse IDE,
JDeveloper, Code::Blocks, Komodo IDE, NetBeans, Borland
Developer Studio, KDevelop or Microsoft Visual Studio,
typically an IDE is devoted to a specific programming
language, as in the Visual Basic IDE or in the WinDev IDE.

An example for a multiple-language IDE, Eclipse's base
installed language is Java. It also has plugins for C/C++,
Python, Perl, Ruby, Fortran, Cobol, PHP, JSP/Servlet, J2EE,
OOD/OOP design tools and many more plugins. These all can
be installed on the same IDE at the same time. They all
have their own debugger and integrated IDE options.
