IDE for Newton Scriting Language

[Julio Jerez]

I have made enough progress on the scrip language that now the best way to move on is to actually test the code. For that I want to have some IDE.
I can write one but that would add lot more complexity that I want at this time. Looking around I came across this Cross platform IDE
http://netbeans.org/
Does anyone have experience with this tool.

By reading on the web it apears that is possible to integrate at full language an dthat seem ideal for what I want.
I saw a Perl plugin, C++, and oteh stuff.

Thsi look too good to be truth but maybe it is.

Of course visual studio comes with the complete Template proect wisard to make app that looks liek visual studio IDE, explore, or any other Offece app.
but from there to make an full functional editor is not a small step, but it is doable.

the problem will be that I will be a MFC project that will be 100% no cross platform.
I believe these templates are also avaible for C# and visual basic, but ther too are MIcrosoft exclusive.

I don't know NetBeans, but Eclipse might be another option.
Lots of people use it for web developement - i did a lot of PHP stuff for an internot shop site and there's nothing bad about it.

But why do you need an IDE - you plan to have debugger too?
If not, why can't everybody use editor of his choice?
Ah... i guess you wanna have class / file tree?

the ide is no needed for embeding but for projects, testing, and debuging is a good thong to have.
this will come far late in the project for now I still have more work to do, I am just looking a head.
I also saw teh eclipsy IDE, it seem very good too, the reason I was looking at netbean is that is mnetion c/C++,
but it turns out it is also a Java app, just like Eclipsy.

and yes, any one can use teh editor of choice, the script is a library, than can be used by eny project that can link a c++ library.
but for presenting it it will be nice to have a stand alone IDE with debung and the ability to brouse projects.

for what I can see, of all teh avaible editors outther, code block, eclipsy, netbean, they have a lot of the back end already, but the amound of work plus the fact that you need to manage a new language, plus the integration will be a added pluging with license restions, and so on
teh gain are no enought to justify the time.
Maybe it is better to simply use VS template project. and have it to be a window IDE only.

I am liking thsi net bean stuff a lot, this is hwo the edito looks when you make a new java project

The cool thong is that Netbean start out as a Java editor, and have evolve to be a genric editor for oteh languages like C++, C. PHP, perl, and there is even a Lua plugin. There is a huge saveing on the testing of teh whole scrip languange

for me is even more becase teh scrip lanaguage is in fact and extension of Java, becaise it si Jave exclusing some funtionality for wich a enbeded script language has no used.
But it is like this any script program run as a Java program, but not every java program can run as a script program.
This allow me to test, debug and compare performance of the script and the Java version on teh same project.
In fact I can even add a plgin tha can conver a Java project to a Newton Script.
