[Mono-list] MONO and tooling...

[Marc Erickson]

Hi,

I'm Marc Erickson, the communications manager for the open-source Eclipse tools integration projects.

I've been looking over the Mono site at: http://www.go-mono.com/index.html and am curious, has anyone
in the project been working with our Eclipse frameworks or development environments?

A company in France called Improve Technologies at: http://www.improve-technologies.com/alpha/esharp/ has actually done a commercial plug-in for developing C# applications on the Eclipse Platform.

Eclipse was designed for multi-language, multi-platform tools deployment. It's completely neutral about the objects being developed. This means that many projects that are working on C/C++, Cobol, SmallTalk, Java and other legacy languages on a wide variety of deployment platforms may want to integrate .NET related technology into their projects.

A set of MONO plug-ins for Eclipse would make it easier for those projects to integrate your tooling and environment.

Eclipse itself is written in the Java language, with a high efficiency UI construction layer called SWT that adopts the look and feel of the platform it runs on. All of this is in open source under the Common Public License. It runs on Linux on a variety of VMs. One of these VMs, called JIKES, is in open source. See: http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikes/ and http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikesrvm/?origin=jikes for more details.

Let me know if I can help put you in touch with members of our project team.

Marc
