Welcome to Release 10

OpenEdge Architect

OpenEdge Architect is a project-based development environment for building applications. It uses an architected approach that recognizes the importance of well structured business logic. OpenEdge Architect allows you to build and catalog reusable application resources, define and integrate components based on business processes and navigate and manipulate business data.

Based on the open-source Eclipse framework, you can plug other Eclipse-based products into OpenEdge Architect and vice-versa. One of the greatest benefits of OpenEdge Architect is the ability to easily integrate other best-of-breed tools with it. It provides developers with an enriched development environment they can tailor to their specific needs.

OpenEdge architect includes:

A project-based environment for organizing and managing files, for connecting to databases, and for quickly finding components.
A full-featured code editor designed for creating Progress 4GL code, and which enables drag and drop functionality from database schema to code.
An integrated debugger.
A cataloging tool for quickly finding code annotations, components, procedures, functions, attributes, methods, and code data elements.
A tool for building temp-tables and ProDataSets, and for creating classes.
A database tool for managing and modifying schema, and for automatically generating scripts.
A variety of views to display resources, data, error messages, and output from running code.
An integrated help system that includes context-sensitive help and code-assist help.
