The tools included in SJJ's Windows XP Embedded Supplemental Toolkit "are designed to help developers in several areas of XP Embedded projects such as creating components, finding resources, version control, and documentation," SJJ managing director Sean Liming said.

The IDK is the first in a new series of SJJ development kit products, Liming added.

The kit is immediately available from SJJ's website, priced at $875.
