Documentation
Architecture
- DBeaver is written mostly on Java. However, it also uses a set of native OS-specific components for desktop UI, high performance database drivers and networking.
- Basic frameworks:
- OSGI platform for plugins and dependency management. Community version consists of 130+ plugins.
- Eclipse RCP platform for rich user interface build.
- JDBC for basic database connectivity API.
- JSQLParser and Antlr4 for SQL grammar and semantic parser.
- For networking and additional functionality we use wide range of open source libraries such as SSHJ, Apache POI, JFreeChart, JTS, Apache JEXL etc.
- We separate model plugins from desktop UI plugins. This allows us to use the same set of "back-end" plugins in both DBeaver and CloudBeaver.
- Dependencies: being an OSGI application we use P2 repositories for third party dependencies. For additional Maven dependencies we use our own DBeaver P2 repo.
