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, Komodo IDE, NetBeans, Borland Developer Studio or Microsoft Visual Studio, typically an IDE is devoted to a specific programming language, as in the Visual Basic 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.



Graphical computer applications with an IDE-style interface (IDE) are those whose child windows reside under a single parent window (usually with the exception of modal windows). An IDE-style interface is distinguishable from a Multiple Document Interface (MDI), because all child windows in an IDE-style interface are enhanced with added functionality not ordinarily available in MDI applications. Because of this, IDE-style applications can be considered a functional superset and descendant of MDI applications.



Examples of enhanced child-window functionality include:



* Dockable child windows

* Collapsable child windows

* Tabbed document interface for sub-panes

* Independent sub-panes of the parent window

* GUI splitters to resize sub-panes of the parent window

* Persistence for window arrangements



Hope this helped clarify matters.



Cheers!

IDE stands for "Integrated Drive Electronics", and is the standard on IBM compatible computers for the cables connecting mainly hard drives and cd-rom drives to your motherboard. IDE cables are also known as ATA cables.



The IDE cable is very easy to be recognized. It's a flat, grey cable, about 1.5 inches wide, with a red stripe in one of the sides. There are usually two IDE ports on a regular motherboard. Some IDE cables have three connections (the one for the motherboard, another one half of the cable and one at the end). IDE cables can support master and slave devices (master is the primary device, usually the hard drive, and slave is the secondary, usually a CD or DVD rom).



IDE, has evolved to EIDE (Enhanced IDE). The other type of connection for hard drives is known as SCSI, which is faster and used for Servers that require a best performance than regular PCs.



No, it is not the same as a bus.



One of the uses is to connect a CD-RW drive to another drive or to the motherboard.
