About Author

• XOTclIDE can manage even big projects with many thousand lines of Tcl or XOTcl program code.
• Supports component based development that helps to structure and reuse code in different applications.
• Enable interactive XOTcl development by using introspection functions of the XOTcl language. There is no difference in using, developing, debugging and browsing (introspection) the system. So you can work on a live XOTcl system.
• XOTclIDE has some powerful structure browsers. They can be used to browse class and object structure and to add and modify the methods or meta-data.
• XOTclIDE Object Inspector lets you browse and manipulate all XOTcl objects. You can navigate through sub-objects structures, inspect and modify variables, or even invoke objects method by GUI.
• XOTclIDE include a powerful syntax checking tool to find all typos at editing time.
• XOTclIDE can also manage normal Tcl procedures (procedural Tcl). This allows to reuse old no-XOTcl code or mix procedural Tcl and object-oriented XOTcl code in one project.
• Support of the programming process. Version Control, Unit Tests Framework
• XOTclIDE can be easily adapted and extended.
• XOTclIDE can be extended with dynamically loadable modules (plug-ins)
• Enables team development.
