Free sdk software for mac

Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.5.6
• Xcode
• X11SDK (from Xcode).

Enhancements:

1. Java SE Development Kit (JDK):
   • For Microsoft Windows, JDK 6 Update 7 is now the minimum supported version of the Java SE Development Kit (JDK). For Apple Macintosh, JDK 5 Update 13 (version 1.5.0_13) is now the minimum supported version of the JDK.
2. Graphics and Animation:
   • Path-based animation (animation of objects around a path)
   • Transition library (list of transitions that enable developers to incorporate effects)
   • Slide
   • Zoom
   • Rotate
   • Image mask
   • Stroke styles (dotted, dashed, and so on)
   • Advanced clip support (clipping along an arbitrary path)
   • Multiline text node
3. Media:
   • Cross-platform Video (On2 Codecs)
   • Cross-platform Audio (MP3)
   • Volume control
   • Track control
   • Native media framework support for the Mac
4. Web Services:
   • HTTP Client API
   • JSON Parser
   • XML parser
5. Language Improvements:
   • New access control mechanisms: public, protected, package, public-init, and public-read
   • Class members can now be defined with accessibility and visibility modifiers to restrict read and write access.
   • The modifiers public, protected, and package are similar to their counterparts in the Java programming language.
   • The modifier public-init defines a variable that can be publicly initialized by object literals in any package.
   • The modifier public-read enables variables to be publicly readable, but writeable only from within the current script.
   • Default visibility changed to script-private, which makes components safer and improves optimization
   • Simplified variable declaration such that all variables are defined with var or def and cannot be redefined
   • Simplified language operators
   • Replaced % with mod
   • Replaced < > with !=
6. Performance Improvements:
   • Reduced use of runtime memory of applications
   • Reduced use of compile-time memory
   • Reduced static footprint of applications
7. Platform, Tools, and JavaFX Reflection APIs:
   • Support for compiling JavaFX applications to both the Java Platform, Standard Edition(SE) and the Java Platform, Micro Edition (ME)
   • Improved code completion and debugging support for integrated development environments (IDEs)
   • Support for the JavaFX Reflection APIs, which enable calling the JavaFX APIs from the Java and JavaScript programming languages

• Processor: Dual-Core Intel, PowerPC G5
• Memory: 512 MB of RAM (1 GB recommended)
• Disk space: 256 MB of free disk space
• Java SE Development Kit (JDK): JDK 5 Update 13 (version 1.5.0_13) minimum (Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 7 or Java for Mac OS X 10.5.4 or later Update 2)

Eclipse SDK 3.5 is designed as a useful open source software development project which aims at providing a robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, industry platform for the development of highly integrated tools.

The Eclipse project is composed of three subprojects, Platform, Java development tools (JDT), and Plug-in development environment (PDE). The Eclipse Platform is an open extensible IDE for anything and yet nothing in particular. It allows tool builders to independently develop tools that integrate with other people's tools so seamlessly you can't tell where one tool ends and another starts.

The JDT project provides the tool plug-ins that implement a full-featured Java IDE supporting the development of any Java application, providing refactoring support, incremental compilation, smart editing etc. The JDT project allows Eclipse to be a development environment for itself. The PDE project provides the mechanisms that enable the community to build plug-ins for eclipse.

The Eclipse SDK includes the Eclipse Platform, Java development tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation.
