Visual Eiffel is an implementation of theEiffel programming language developed and distributed by Object Tools GmbH, a German company.[1]
Visual Eiffel provides anintegrated development environment running onMicrosoft Windows.[2] A major design goal was to provide an environment that, unlikeEiffelStudio, does not use an original user interface paradigm but instead is comfortable to programmers familiar with such tools asMicrosoft'sVisual Studio andBorland'sDelphi.
Visual Eiffel includes a "Display Machine" for developing GUI applications.
While many other Eiffel compilers generateC,Javabytecode or bytecode for.NET Framework, the Visual Eiffel compiler generates nativeX86 code.[3]
As of the 10th of April 2005, the compiler (not the graphical environment) was, besides Windows, also available onLinux.[3]
Licensing was free for personal use (with banner) or commercial, with the core GPL.[4]
