Abstract

We present JScoper, an Eclipse plug-in which will help developers, researchers and students, to generate, understand, and manipulate memory regions in scoped-memory management setting. The main goal of the plug-in is to provide a tool that will transparently assist the translation of Java applications into Real-time Specification for Java (RTSJ) compliant applications. More accurately, its purpose is to enable automatic and semi-automatic ways to translate heap-based Java programs into scope-based ones, by leveraging GUI features for navigation, specification and debugging.
