About the JScheme Eclipse Plug-in

JScheme The goal of the JScheme Plug-in is to provide the basics of a Scheme editor for Eclipse. Early/short-term goals include basic syntax highlighting, code formatting, and parenthesis matching. Medium-term goals include building launchers and better syntax analysis of source as well an outline view of a JScheme file. Longer-term goals include possible debugging support and other advanced features. But that's a long way off.

Some screenshots are available to give a sense of what this plugin provides.

Status

The current release is downloadable from the zClipse update site.

Targetted Eclipse Version

2.1 and up (it may work with 2.0, but no guarantees)

About JScheme

JScheme is a very tight Java implementation of Scheme. From the JScheme site:

Jscheme is a dialect of Scheme with a very simple interface to Java, called the Javadot notation. It is also a reference implementation for this dialect (implemented in Java, bootstrapped with Jscheme).
