An integrated software development environment (IDE) from Apple for building Mac OS X applications. Introduced with Version 10.3 (Panther) of OS X and evolving from Apple's Project Builder, Xcode supports writing in C, C++, Objective C, AppleScript and Java. Xcode includes the GCC compilers from the GNU project and is used with Apple's Interface Builder for building visual interfaces (GUIs). See Mac OS X and Cocoa.
