VDF Tools for Eclipse
From DataFlex Wiki
The VDF Tools for Eclipse started out as a simple JavaCC grammar for FMAC/ICODE in 2003. When I in 2004 decided that it should be put to use it was clear that it would not be a good idea to use a low-level language parser to provide the foundations the parser was rewritten for VDF 7 using ANTLR.
VDF Tools works more or less like any programming language IDE. It has a parser that builds an index or metadata model of the code. These data forms the foundation of a number of features such as:
- Class hierarchy browser
- VDF Navigator
- Symbol table
- Syntax colored editor
- Context sensitive content assist/intellisense
- Database view
