 Java development infrastructure

Mission Statement
Provide an integrated
and robust
development
infrastructure
for Java projects
at customer
and partner sites
as well as for SAP’s own development
Provide a highly productive Java development
environment that
Covers the complete life cycle of Java projects

 NetWeaver Developer Studio is based on Eclipse

Eclipse
Eclipse is an open source framework for Integrated Development
Environments ([Link])
Eclipse has its roots in work done by IBM
Eclipse is an open consortium of J2EE and development environment players
SAP has joined the Eclipse consortium

NetWeaver Developer Studio is built on top of Eclipse

Complete set of tools with Eclipse user interface look and feel
Allow customers and partners to extend the tooling environment through the
plug-in architecture of Eclipse
Offer an individual and personalized access to the various development tools
through Eclipse perspectives (customized tool sets)
Seamless integration of all development tools into SAP‘s development
infrastructure (designtime repository, change management, software
logistics)

 SAP‘s Java Development Infrastructure: Design
principles

Most J2EE environments in the market offer a rather limited

development infrastructure

A significant amount of manual work is necessary to setup a

consistent Java development environment on a developer’s
machine for each project

Idea: Combine a local and file

based designtime architecture
with the advantages of an
integrated server-based
environment such as ABAP

 2002 SAP Labs, LLC, Session ID, Speaker Name 10

 Cornerstones of SAP‘s Java Development
Infrastructure

Component Model for Java Development

Software architecture through software and development components
Component hierarchy
Management of component dependencies

Design Time Repository

Files and folder based repository
Distibuted source code control
Flexible development landscapes

Component Build Service

Automatic & immediate build of changed and dependent components
Provide consistent environment, automated update of local environment

Change Management Service

Automatic deployment to the J2EE runtime environment
Propagation of changes between different repositories
Maintenance of (both SAP and customer) Java solutions

 Component Model

Benefits of componentized Java development

Mastering complexity in distributed and networked Java
development projects
Managing software components and their dependencies explicitly
Basis for a Java software delivery and maintenance

Software components
Are the building blocks for SAP’s products
Are units that are installed and maintained at the customer’s site
Have their own release cycle and maintenance intervals
Compatibility between different software components is maintained
in configurations

Development components
Are containers for development objects (e.g. Java packages)
Make up software components
Dependencies (“DC1 requires DC2”) can be defined between
development components

 2002 SAP Labs, LLC, Session ID, Speaker Name 13

 Basic properties of development components

Java packages
Useful in the small, not sufficient in the large
Do not allow to restrict the use of public interfaces

Development Components
Support decoupling, separate delivery
Allow to restrict visiblity, allow to analyze dependency
