LinCE 1.0

LinCE project is a programming environment that is simple, pluggable, multiplatform, and multilanguage.
LinCE eases Java programming process, doing: source code highlighting as you type, marking complementary brackets, compiling, showing error lines... In order to make these functions, LinCE is based in jEdit Syntax Package and Apache Ant.
LinCE runs fluent and is expandable through plugins that are loaded at run time. Due to a careful interface classes design, a plugin developer must know only a little about LinCE architecture to develop a plugin. A plugin uses only Swing and Singleton classes. LinCE provides a system to develop itself and its plugins based on Apache Ant.
LinCE explores very little used functionality in development environments. This functionality is the generation of configuration GUIs from a configuration Java objects, using introspection. The porpose of this technique is avoid the developement of a configuration GUI whenever it is simple.
The programming environment allows to create and load Ant projects, compile them and browse errors line by line. Also it allows to execute PMD on Java projects. PMD is a tool that makes static Java code check looking for potential problems.
The programming environment is designed to be re-usable like framework, to develop many different applications, because LinCE has: a menu system configurable with a GUI, a plugin development system, multilanguage support, logging system...
It is necessary to emphasize that de project document provides technical documentation (in spanish) on the development of a programming environment in Java, subject for which there is little information available.
Enhancements:
- Apache Ant 1.6.5
- PMD 3.8 (recommended)
