Location / Home / Products / Overview
KDE Studio Gold is a commercial release of our Open Source KDE Studio project. KDE Studio is already enormously popular -- why produce a commercial version? The simple answer is that there are several features and additions which are consistently requested, and we decided to bundle these (and more) together with full documentation into a product for professional KDE development.
This new release delivers a full-fledged IDE for the development of sophisticated C++ KDE applications -- including the many utility features you expect from a modern development environment, such as code completion, dynamic syntax highlighting and popup function parameter lookup. Debugging is simplified by tight integration with kdbg in the IDE, and comprehensive documentation is provided in the form of a "Getting Started" guide and a reference manual.
 Features
- Powerful project control. KDE Studio Gold supports complex projects, composed of multiple executables, static or shared libraries, all in one centralized workspace, including support for multiple targets from a single project.
- Clear structure display. You can explore the structure of your classes in KDE Studio Gold with an intuitive tree view. Functions and data members are exposed for a quick understanding of library structures. The class tree is updated on-the-fly while you type your code.
- Easy navigation. With KDE Studio Gold, you can place bookmarks on your code to speed up navigation.
- Integration with Qt and KDE tools. KDE Studio Gold provides integrated support for Qt Designer files where clicking on a .ui file will bring up Qt Designer. Clicking on .po files brings up KBabel for translation. Extended commands for the .ui and .po files are available in the RMB menu. Qt Designer is a product from Trolltech AS.
- UI toolkit-independent development. KDE Studio Gold also supports development of non-KDE applications, with ready-made templates for console, X11 and Qt applications. User-managed project types are also available.
- Flexible compiler configuration options. Any subproject or even the whole workspace can be marked as user-managed. In other words, KDE Studio Gold would not use autoconf/automake for that project.
- Integrated test console. KDE Studio Gold has a dockwidget that contains a konsole KPart. This is useful in many ways, for example when testing text-mode apps without leaving KDE Studio Gold.
- Powerful debugger features. KDE Studio Gold offers a great number of tools for debugging your applications, like the following:
- breakpoints
- temporary breakpoints
- watchpoints
- single-stepping through code
- local variables display
- watch expressions display
- memory area display
- KDE-independent development. You can now create more than just KDE projects with KDE Studio Gold. The following types are supported:
- Custom (no Makefiles generated, only directory structure support) -- it's all based on Autoconf/Automake
- Console
- X11
- Qt
- KDE
- Import projects from directory structure
- Code folding
- New highlight engine (you can modify and add custom highlight by editing the XML file)
- For C__ file types we now highlight for all Qt and KDE class names
- Plugins for class diagram
- Quick project file creation from existing directory structure
- DocBrowser can now browse and show Info files
- Java Support
- Java syntax highlighting, including Qt and KDE class names.
- Java class browsing with the Studio Class Explorer and Class Diagram tools.
- "KDE Java", "Qt Java" and "Console Java" workspace templates. These new templates add a check for Java resources to the existing C++-only ones, using the KDE_CHECK_JAVA_DIR autoconf macro. Hence, they can contain both C++ and Java projects, such as a Qt C++ client, along with Java JSP or servlet code for the backend.
- A "Java" project type, where new Java source files are added to a "java_JAVA" primary in the "Makefile.am" automake file (and also added to the "EXTRA_DIST" list). If a Java source file is added to the existing non-Java project types, the source name will just be included in the 'EXTRA_DIST' macro list, and not added to a "_JAVA" primary list.
- New sourcefile types "Java Source", "Qt Java Main" and "KDE Java Main" added. The Qt and KDE sourcefile types are for use in conjunction with the Qt/KDE Java bindings, and generate top level code similar to the equivalent C++ Studio Qt and KDE types.
- Java source files can be imported from Java automake projects, which use the "_JAVA" primary.
- A "*.java" filename pattern added to the grep dialog.

Support
Purchasers of KDE Studio Gold will be entitled to electronic updates at no extra cost.
A KDE Studio mailing list for customers will be available as well as support queues. We will answer these support questions as time permits. For priority response you should take a look at our support services.
Support note about DocBrowser
Due to substantial changes in KDE 3.x and Qt 3.x we are no longer able to support DocBrowser with these releases. If you are using KDE 3 and/or Qt 3.x, you will not be able to use DocBrowser for that documentation. It is, however, still very useful for development of embedded applications for the Sharp Zaurus, since it uses the Qt/E 2.x series. DocBrowser will not be updated, so we suggest getting the Standard version of KDE Studio Gold in this case.
