Complicated projects tend to do anything using specific environment.
Users that working on such projects do following actions:
- compile
- build
- run
in special environment or in special environment shell.
IDE should allow doing the same.
Of course user can start IDE with needed environment or from environment shell.
But this approach does not work for full remote project.
For example:
1. ADE force user to do anything in special environment shell:
#ade useview my_product
2. OpenSolaris uses:
#env -i /opt/onbld/bin/bldenv ./sfw-opensolaris.sh

Work around for projects on local file system:
- start IDE with needed environment (or from environment shell).
Work around for full remote project:
- user can provide profile script on remote host that set up needed environment. But it does not work if user should do anything from environment shell.

Requirement:
Provide SPI that allow setup environment or environment shell for native execution. Environment should be used for compile/build/test/run commands.
