You have to contact Oracle about Studio support. Oracle for some reason
boycott illumos and other Openindiana continuation distributions with their
binary releases and acts like only Linux and Oracle Solaris (closed source
kernel) exists.

On the other hand, open source parts of oracle Solaris that have source
available are used to make Openindiana with illumos kernel pats, so beside
other contributions and port is what Openindiana is.
Don't count on compatibility between OI and Solaris in the future, they
share previous code but Oracle went their way for releases and that
includes Studio that since recently is not normally used to build binaries
on both illumos distros and OI.
Last OI that has some connection with Opensolaris for Studio use and was
built with Studio was Openindiana /dev releases but /hipster releases with
more current software are build and use GCC.

Solaris Studio is made of NetBeans, with addition of studio compiler. One
can use Netbeans (.JAR for Solaris and platform independent since 8.0) with
addition of GCC for similar development environment. Last netbeans I was
able to run on OI wan 7.4 or something, whereas 8.0 does not run on OI
because I suppose Oracle again, only thinks about Solaris closed.
Maybe you could take NetBeans source and compile it for OI, there is always
space for inclusion of packaged binaries in OI /hipster repositories.
