Carbide Development Tools

Carbide is a new generation of mobile development tools from Nokia. More than just a new name, Carbide is a deliberate move to unify Nokia's mobile-development tools into a common framework.

Carbide takes mobile development to a new level in terms of features and efficiency. Users now have one family for developing software for multiple platforms and multiple languages.

Based on the open Eclipse framework, the Carbide offering can be extended with other Eclipse plug-ins and products.

Carbide tools will focus on three primary development areas:

Carbide development tools for Java

Forum Nokia has withdrawn Carbide.j because of the increasing availability of suitable open-source and free tools for mobile Java developers. Forum Nokia remains committed to providing developers with SDKs and device-specific tools for mobile Java development.

Carbide development tools for Symbian OS C++

Carbide.c++ is a family of Eclipse-based development tools supporting Symbian OS development on the S60 platform, the Series 80 platform, UIQ, and MOAP.

Carbide.c++ Professional Edition – Performance tools for advanced users
Carbide.c++ Developer Edition – Productivity tools for creating applications
Carbide.c++ Express – For developers new to Symbian, academia

Carbide.vs is a plug-in that allows Visual Studio users to develop C++ code for Symbian OS platforms including the S60 platform and the Series 80 platform. This is a Visual Studio plug-in and therefore not built on Eclipse.
