Alt IDEs for Oz? [was: emacs bad for windows users]

[Bob Calco]

Er, I meant 4 editions - but practically speaking there are only 3: 1 & 2
are the same edition, the latter just provides tech support for a year. :)

! 
! I've been quiet on this list for a while but I can, in light of your
! question, announce the development of a Windows IDE for Oz that I'm
! working on.
! 
! It's called Amadeus and for the last year or so I've been designing it.
! This month I've actually started coding it. I'm breaking it up into 3
! editions:
! 
! 1. Community Edition - Free for download and open-source use.
! -------------------------------------------------------------
! 
! Features of the Community Edition:
! 
! 	* Integration with CVS so you can install Amadeus, pull down the
! source, and compile and configure your system.
! 
! 	* Integration with Ozmake so you can create and manage projects
! "vsually" and under the hood Amadeus is managing the makefile.oz file for
! you.
! 
! 	* FTP support for uploading your contributions to your MOGUL site,
! and downloading.
! 
! 	* Sophisticated GUI with syntax highlighting, source-based
! intellisense, and a browse tree, and Office 2003/VS.NET 2005 look-feel.
! 
! 	* Native executable -- no need to install .NET as a pre-requisite.
! 
! 	* Support for C/C++ and popular script languages, custom tools, etc.
! 
! 	* Basic documentation
! 
! 2. Personal Edition (Community Edition with tech support for 1 year) $99
! ------------------------------------------------------------------------
! 
! 3. Professional Edition - $399
! ------------------------------
! 
! Additional features of Professional Edition:
! 
! 	* Wizards to walk you through creating Oz functors and applications
! 
! 	* Wizard to create new native extensions, including an
! implementation of SWIG for Oz to simplify writing wrappers to native
! libraries and toolkits.
! 
! 	* Project templates, code templates
! 
! 	* Full documentation, including how to extend the IDE's
! functionality
! 
! 	* Tech support for 1 year
! 
! 4. Enterprise Edition - $2,199 per single user, volume discounts
! ----------------------------------------------------------------
! 
! Additional features of Enterprise Edition:
! 
! 	* Tools for collaborative coding over the Internet
! 
! 	* Wizards for creating web services and constraint services that use
! Oz on the server-side
! 
! 	* Wizards for starting sophisticated Oz projects, such as multi-
! agent systems, including enhanced tutorials.
! 
! 	* Built-in COM, and .NET, and Java interop functors so you can
! leverage existing business objects in n-tier environments.
! 
! 
! Tentative release dates:
! 
! 	1. Community/Personal:  April 15, 2005
! 	2. Professional:		October 2005
! 	3. Enterprise:		January 2006
! 
! I may have a beta of Community out by January 2005, we'll see.
! 
! Incidentally I'm doing this under the aegis of a new company I'm starting,
! called SoftCraft Solutions, Inc. Many of the components I'm writing for
! Amadeus will make their way into a general programmer's editor I'm calling
! CodeCrafter (part of a line of projects, such as WordCrafter for creative
! writing, ImageCrafter for graphics manipulation, etc.). But Amadeus will
! be a unique product insofar as it deeply integrates with Oz and its
! various tools and provides a unique environment---the first multiparadigm
! IDE, so to speak. ;)

! ! Hi all!
! !
! ! This thread raises a question --Do the Mozart team have any ideas
! ! about having alternative supported IDEs than Emacs, like an
! ! Eclipse-plugin or as a module for XCode? Though I really would not
! ! want to replace my Emacs for anything else, but I think if you
! ! developed, say an eclipse-plugin, this would be a nice addon for the
! ! Mozart implementation of Oz and for those not being fully Emacs
! ! compatible. :)
! !
! ! Yours,
! ! /robert
! !
! ! ps. Is Mozart the only Oz implementations around? ds.
