EiffelStudio Integrated Development Environment

Welcome to the homepage of the EiffelStudio IDE open-source project. EiffelStudio is a full-featured, commercial grade IDE for the Eiffel programming language. It is maintained and developed mostly by Eiffel Software and hosted on Origo.

On April 5th, 2006, Eiffel Software relicensed the EiffelStudio product under the Gnu Public License. Eiffel Software still offers a commercial variant. Both versions share the same source code.

EiffelStudio is a modern IDE offering the following features:

Complete compiler for the Eiffel programming language, with both high compile-time speed and high-performance executables
Support for Windows, MacOS X, Linux, *BSD, Solaris and other operating systems
Smart code editor
Sophisticated multi-view browsing and viewing facilities
Interactive debugger
Graphical modelling tool for UML and BON with full roundtrip
Refactoring support
GUI development tool and fully portable GUI library

The Eiffel compiler creates C code that is then handed to a standard C compiler. As a result, Eiffel programs have a run-time performance comparable to those directly written in C or C++. At the same time, Eiffel is an object-oriented and strongly typed language. EiffelStudio uses a highly efficient compacting garbage collector to free the developer from the burden of memory management.
