IDE agnostic tools for embedded container software
MicroEJ in France has launched the latest version of its container software development kit (SDK) for embedded devices in the Internet of Things (IoT).
The MicroEJ SDK v6 broadens IoT development horizons by integrating with industry-standard IDEs such as Android Studio, IntelliJ, and Eclipse. It caters to both seasoned embedded software developers and newcomers, including Android and managed code language developers with Java, JavaScript and managed C.

This supports the development of applications and the customization of Virtual Execution Environments (VEE) based on the MicroEJ VEE software containers for embedded systems. It supports development on virtual devices, multi-sandboxed application containers, embedded GUI tools and libraries, with managed code support and built-in security.
Support includes diverse development boards, intuitive programming tools and resources to facilitate the creation of secure, low-power applications across a broad spectrum of IoT products—from wearables, home appliances, and smart homes to industrial automation, medical devices, and smart meters.
“This release is a testament to our close collaboration with customers, partners, and the developer community, with the goal of accelerating edge computing creativity across various domains such as user interfaces, communication, sensors, and the creation of app marketplaces,” said Semir Haddad, Chief Product and Strategy Officer, MicroEJ.
“Software value started in the cloud and servers; it is now scaling on the edge, and, just as Android revolutionized the smartphone industry, MicroEJ aims to revolutionize the edge digital world by empowering the developer community with their familiar tools and IDEs to expedite product development on cost-constrained low-power devices. This marks a pivotal moment for the edge industry, fostering a collaborative and inclusive ecosystem with the cloud,” said Dr. Fred Rivard, CEO, MicroEJ.

The SDK v6 offers a range of integrated development environments catering to embedded and IoT developers. This release supports three popular IDEs:
- IntelliJ IDEA by JetBrains has features such as autocompletion, code refactoring, and intelligent suggestions, IntelliJ is the leading IDE for millions of engineers.
- Android Studio is the preferred choice for Android developers, seamlessly integrating with the SDK via MicroEJ’s Android Compatibility Kit.
- Eclipse continues to be supported for those who prefer this rich environment.
The adaptable design of the SDK enables seamless integration with upcoming IDEs, such as the ongoing development of Visual Studio Code, ensuring flexibility and future compatibility.
MicroEJ SDK v6 embraces the widely adopted Gradle build automation tool, alongside the existing MicroEJ Module Manager (MMM). Gradle brings a thriving community, flexibility, multi-language support, Android compatibility, extensive plugin support, and performance optimization.
