LuaEclipse integrating tools in Lua development Luís Eduardo Jason Santos Lua Workshop 2009

Special Thanks The Lua Team Ideais Andre Carregal and the Kepler Project Fábrica Digital FINEP/SEBRAE IT Quality Systems Move Networks Anywhere Tech Comunidade Lua LuaEclipse Luís Eduardo Jason Santos Lua Workshop 2009

LuaEclipse An integrated development environment built on the Eclipse platform The platform Some members of the Eclipse Foundation

The Eclipse platform Strong presence in several areas - SOA orchestration - Java development - web and script langugages - C/C++ development - mobile platforms (including linux mobile and symbian) - microcontrollers

LuaEclipse – What it is? IDE - Integrated Development Environment

What it is not... LuaEclipse is not a Code editor - like scite, gedit, notepad++, ultraedit, vi, etc.

What is it? IDE - Integrated Development Environment usually have: - code editor - compiler/interpreter - integrated development tools - debugger

Modern IDEs Popular tools - context detection - dependency analyzer - refactoring tools - builders and deployment tools - version control integration

LuaEclipse - Motivation Historical - corporate world origins Context - lua as an extension language

LuaEclipse - Motivation Main issues - integration with host application toolchain - keep contact with development teams culture
