The EntireX Workbench is implemented and delivered as of a set of Eclipse plug-ins. It provides the EntireX development-time user interface in a commonly used environment. Among other capabilities, EntireX Workbench provides various wrappers, IDL extractors, editors and testers for generating and testing interface objects to be used in RPC communication between existing RPC servers and RPC client applications.
