Browser Based IDE to Code in the Cloud - New Paradigms in Internet Computing - page 60

2.1 Cloud9 IDE

Cloud9 IDE supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc [6]. It is mainly for web
development. It has support for real time collaboration.

2.2 CodeRun Studio [7]

CodeRun Studio supports ASP.net, C#.net, Silverlight as well as the languages
supported by Cloud9 IDE. It allows sharing of code through hyperlinks.

2.3 Eclipse Orion [8]

Eclipse Orion is mainly for web development and it supports HTML and JavaScript.
All these above IDEs do not have support for Java language.

2.4 Ideone

Ideone is not an IDE. It is like a pastebin that supports compilation and debugging of code
in many languages including Java [9]. But it does not permit the creation of projects.

2.5 eXo Cloud IDE

eXo Cloud IDE is the only cloud-based IDE that supports programming in Java
language [10]. But it does not support real time collaboration.

3 Proposed System

The idea in this paper is to build browser based IDE for Java language to code in the
cloud. This IDE will be present on the cloud and will allow any person to code,
compile and run Java code from anywhere in the world and with devices like smart
phones, laptops, desktops, etc. that have a browser, an Internet connection as shown
in Fig. 1.
