Developed as a sub-project of the Directory Top Level Project, Apache Directory Studio is an Eclipse RCP application that takes full advantage of the benefits inherent in the Eclipse platform. Composed
of several Eclipse (OSGi) plugins, Apache Directory Studio can be easily upgraded with additional plugins. Apache Directory Studio plugins can even run within a full installation of Eclipse itself.
Apache Directory Studio contains 6 major features:
* an LDAP Browser feature
* an LDIF Editor feature
* an ACI Editor feature for Apache Directory Server
* a Schema Editor feature
* an Apache DS feature
* an Apache DS Configuration feature
