Second, I personally don't care if they open source the IDE and frameworks as much as I care about having programming access to them through APIs, like in other development tools. Let me have an API to add my own editing or programming tools to the IDE so I don't need code to read and write project files. Let me check and manipulate a program's abstract syntax tree and symbol table through an API so I don't have to write most of a REALbasic compiler and parse the language reference or frameworks files just to create programming tools. The top IDEs (Eclipse, NetBeans, Visual Studio, IDEA) provide these capabilities built-in, and the community has created a large catalog of powerful programming IDE plugins (both free and commercial) that has helped to increase the growth of the IDE's user bases.
A REALBasic eclipse plugin would be interesting . -- Keith Hutchison http://balance-infosystems.com http://realopen.org http://www.kasamba.com/Keith-Hutchison _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
