Visual Studio and NetBeans users now can access Genuitec’s SNAPs (Simple Nonintegrated Applications) developer tools.

By downloading Genuitec’s “Use-Anywhere” connectors, developers working in the NetBeans and Visual Studio platforms can utilize Genuitec’s MyEclipse Visual HTML Designer, XML Editor, Database Explorer and Image Editor SNAPs.

SNAPs is part of the Genuitec Fusion Technology suite of tools to allow developers to accomplish focused tasks without requiring an entire IDE.

Use-Anywhere connectors for NetBeans and Visual Studio require installation of the MyEclipse 5.5M1 Enterprise Workbench, which can be downloaded here. The connectors can be found here for NetBeans and here for Visual Studio.

Accessing the connectors does require an annual subscription to the MyEclipse IDE, which costs $30 per developer for a basic subscription.

Genuitec offers Java and J2EE development tools and bases its technology on the Eclipse open source platform. The company recently announced availability of its MyEclipse 5.5 Enterprise Workbench IDE that leverages SNAPs tools.
