digitalmars.D.announce - SkyIDE - a new IDE for D (and other languages)

Announcing SkyIDE, a free IDE that supports Digital Mars D.

SkyIDE is a free integrated development environment for C++, Java, Digital Mars
D, Free Pascal, JavaScript, VBScript
and other languages. SkyIDE supports rich syntax highlighting and has a
multi-compiler, multi project and multi profile
support including using a specific compiler profile per project. Multi profile
means you can add as many compiler
profiles of a specific compiler as you want and use them in SkyIDE. You can
easily change the compiler profile one
project is using after the project has been created. Multi project means you
can have multiple projects open at the
same time. The code editor features separate abbrevations and auto completes
for each file type supported. These
features can be customized.

SkyIDE supports up to 7 compilers currently: Borland C++, GNU C++, Digital Mars
C++, Openwatcom C++, Sun Java C++,
Digital Mars D compiler and the Free Pascal compiler.  For all languages
mentioned here, dynamic auto-complete is
available along with file structures and function viewers and selectors.
Pre-definaed auto-complete and abbrevation
lists are also available. Feedback is appreciate and bug reports should be
emailed to me ASAP so I can fix them ASAP :)

You can download the current Beta 8 from:
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/SkyIDE/1158829578/1

SkyIDE is under rapid development, all feedback will be appreciated.

It works just fine under Wine. AFAIR also dide and elephant used to work
under wine.

BTW, is this the best editor for D currently on Linux? What spec version
does it support?

I think the Eclipse plugin is a bit old. Code::blocks is a piece of
junk. Oh man, why do they want to build everything on top of that buggy
gtk.. There used to be a emacs mode, but I don't use emacs. So, are
there any production ready editors with pretty recent D syntax support
for non-Windows OSes at all?

I suppose you mean IDE -support, since most just editors support D? jEdit
might be one of the more powerful of that sort. There is a new
Eclipse-plugin, btw, Descent, but it is not fully completed yet and not too
easy to install.

I personally use vim.

Talking about Descent, the Parser is now %86 covered by tests while the 
Lexer is %70 covered. I'll soon start copying the JDT design. I just 
sent a mail to the PHPEclipse development team asking for some advice, 
since they copied JDT almost literaly. Hope they answer me. :-)

I'll probably need to use a Jikespg as a parser (not use DMDs parser), 
but it should be a good idea to maintain the AST model. This is so the 
new parser can be excercised with the tests I wrote, to see that 
everything is ok.

Anyone know anything about Jikespg or is interested in learning it?

(btw, currently I'm not planning on making Descent easy to install since 
it's not yet useful)

Not that it will make you stop hating Code::Blocks, but it is not
built on GTK+ - it is built on wxWidgets (which happens to use GTK+)

For the editor component it uses Scintilla, like everyone else does.
If we're talking just text editing, and not the rest of the IDE...

Yeah, I know. I've been using the svn build for over a half year now.
Currently it segfaults on start and I haven't been able to fetch a
working one from the repository. The stable version does not have
up-to-date support for D.

I think wxWidgets might actually be a very fine library. The same
applies to SWT, DWT, wxD, dui, minwin and others. The big problem is
GTK+. I prefer using Eclipse on a VMWare virtual machine, because it's
actually much faster to emulate windows and run Eclipse on top of the
client OS than to run it natively. For some reason the GTK+ native linux
widget set is slowing things down. On Windows it runs just fine without
performance issues. I don't hate code::blocks or gtk, I just don't
understand why it's so much slower than anything else. Running the
non-native programs with Wine is like riding an ultrafast intergalactic
rocket.

I was looking for an IDE with syntax checking / coloring according to
the latest specs, perhaps some code completion tools, tabs and
integrated project resource (file) manager. Currently I'm using kdevelop
and vi, but they're both somewhat counterproductive to me, I don't know.

Well, I've written a somewhat simple D IDE in qt3.3. It's far from perfect,
but it has usable syntax highlighting, build (bud) support, and it is
completely stable (as in, it has yet to crash on me).

Then click Add.

It add profile "dmd" now, Profile name becomes "DIGITAL", Compiler type 
"Borland C++", Location empty, Compiler parameters "DIGITAL". It fills 
these things like this randomly, so there must be something wrong there.

And it forces to chooce the .exe for compiler so how would this work

I am not really sure why you are experiencing such problems on Linux. It does
not happen in Windows so it's really hard
to track down the problem but I will look into it. It could be with the way
WINE interprets the API calls. I will
install Linux in a few days and I will "try" to solve the problem even if it
requires using different system calls (if
they are available of course)


I just want to let everyone know that D support in SkyIDE is preliminary and
will be improved. What you see now is only
base support. However you should be able to add keywords through TScintilla
Editor options->Language Manager->Keywords
just make sure the selected language is "D" and press "Apply" after the keyword
has been added.

At least I got the base working....I will try to add support for bud/dbuild. I
am working on multiple fronts here. I am
also trying to add support for Bakefile  (haven't started it yet but I am
studying it) and CYGWIN.

You can for example set bud and dmd flags from the menu,

it has the source and/or libraries/dll for dfl, minwin, sdl and

Using dcode would of course been the proper way to go.
But it started as a minor config file tweaks, to adding some code.
It was never meant to be a "real" project. I've only spent a day or two 
working on it. Maybe in the future...
