EDGE IDE
An integrated development environment (IDE) brings together all aspects of software development – from coding and debugging to testing and optimization – in a single, unified workspace.
EDGE IDE focuses on helping software engineers be more productive, complementing the development workflow with an advanced source editor, project manager, and plug-in support for third-party tools.

Reasons to Choos EDGE IDE...
Support for Legacy Tools
Switching compilers may not be an option where projects depend upon legacy code. EDGE IDE supports multiple toolsets out of the box, and makes it easy to add support for any other tools you may wish to use.
Rapid Tool Configuration
Tools that must normally been controlled via complex command-line switches and makefiles can now be configured effortlessly within the IDE itself.
Easy Configuration through Project Wizards
The EDGE IDE project wizard enables developers to get up and running quickly with new projects, handholding them through the configuration process.
Flexibility and Extensibility
EDGE IDE is founded upon Eclipse, an open IDE framework that offers tremendous flexibility and extensibility. Since Mentor Graphics’ early adoption of Eclipse, it has become widely adopted within the industry. You can select from over a thousand third-party Eclipse plug-ins, many of which are available at no cost, to fine tune your development environment and complement the core functionality that EDGE provides.
Seamless Version Control
EDGE IDE supports all industry standard source code version management tools including CVS, Subversion, and ClearCase.
