GoalsGoals

Hibachi is intended to be a full-featured IDE for developing Ada native and embedded applications. Hibachi will independent of the underlying Ada compiler technology.

Hibachi will be architected in such a way as to allow integrators the possibility to extend or replace the functionality it provides.

Hibachi will provide an open framework for the integration and use of other tools used during the lifecycle of large-scale Ada application development. These tools include but are not limited to Static Analysis, Modeling, Testing and Verification, Performance Analysis, Documentation, Refactoring and Configuration Management.
