Abstract

Building and integrating complex software development tools is a difficult task, but one which can result in great usability and productivity gains for software development. We describe our experiences in developing the Banquet set of integrated software development tools, initially using C++, and then Java as the tool interfacing and implementation and languages. We identify where, for us, the advantages of a Java-based approach lie.
