RAD tools let you create and modify classes through a high-level visual interface. You can use this interface to create, rename, and delete the various classes, member functions, and data members in your application. The RAD tools automatically synchronize declarations and definitions as you modify the application.

Because CodeWarrior uses a plug-in architecture for RAD, you can easily extend the IDE's capabilities. The RAD tools automatically generate source code via scripts. You can modify existing scripts to customize the generated code for your application.
