Using the MQe development and administration tools

The following are some of the tools that you can use to develop or administer MQe applications:

MQe_Explorer
The MQe_Explorer provides a graphical user interface for the management of an MQe network and its interconnection with WebSphere MQ. It allows MQe queue managers and their associated objects, such as queues, connections, and bridges, to be locally or remotely configured. MQe_Explorer also provides a simple way of creating local queue managers, which can then be further configured to meet the needs of applications. It also offers a launch and debug environment for MQe applications. MQe_Script is available as a SupportPac that you can download from the WebSphere MQ Everyplace web site. For more information see MQe SupportPacs.
MQe_Script
MQe_Script is a command-line based tool for MQe, and is platform independent. It allows MQe queue managers and their associated objects, such as queues, connections, listeners, and bridge objects to be locally or remotely configured. Test messages can also be sent to the queues to validate the operation of the network. Like the MQe_Explorer, MQe_Script provides a simple way of creating local queue managers, which you can then configure and extend for use by your application. MQe_Explorer is available as a SupportPac that you can download from the WebSphere MQ Everyplace web site. For more information see MQe SupportPacs.
WebSphere Studio Application Developer
WebSphere Studio Application Developer is an integrated development environment for visually designing, constructing, testing, and deploying Web services, portals, and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications. It is built on Eclipse, and provides templates, wizards, and drag-and-drop tools that allow you to create Java applications quickly and simply.

WebSphere Studio Device Developer
WebSphere Studio Device Developer provides an integrated development environment (IDE) for building, testing, and deploying Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) applications that run on wireless devices such as cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDA), and handheld computers.

Eclipse
Eclipse is an open industry-supported platform for software development tools. It provides a plug-in based framework that facilitates the creation, integration, and use of software tools. For more information on Eclipse, see:
