The Eclipse platform contains editors like for example the generic text editor. Editors can support one or more
|
|
content types identified by file extensions. One editor can be the default for a specific file extension. WUDSN IDE
|
|
provides an assembler
|
|
editor and a corresponding content type for every compiler. Every assembler
|
|
editor has a default compiler associated which in turn defines via the preferences which application is used to run the
|
|
output file.

|
<li>
|
|
The toolbar button for "Compile and Run" offers a pulldown menu which allows to run the output file with any of the
|
|
applications configured in the preferences. This way you can run the output file easily with different emulators
|
|
without changing the
|
|
preferences. That can be very helpful if one emulator show a different behaviour than another or
|
|
in case you have specified a build script as user defined application in the preferences

forces the file to be opened with the hex editor. In addition the hex editor is set as the default editor this one

|
file. As a consequence
|
|
double clicking the file in the package explorer will open it automatically with the hex
|
|
editor, no matter which type of file is actually is. This saves you from always using the context menu, just because
|
|
the file has no known file type. You can change

<li>The "Open With Graphics Editor" menu entry closes an existing editor in case the file is already opened and

|
thereby forces the file to be opened with the graphics editor. In addition the graphics editor is set as the default
|
|
editor this one file. As a
|
|
consequence double clicking the file in the package explorer will open it automatically
|
|
with the graphics editor, no matter which type of file is actually is. This saves you from always using the context
|
|
menu, just because the file has no known file
|

<ul>
|
|
<li>For most use-cases, the defaults provided for the compilers and in the preferences are sufficient. But if you want have develop in parallel in multiple projects, for different platforms (Apple II and Atari 8-bit) or in different output formats
|
|
(".XEX" and ".BIN") with the same compiler it may become cumbersome to change the preferences every time. Therefore WUDSN IDE offers annotations which you can put into the source code files. These annotations override the defaults and the preferences.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>All annotations start with the prefix "@com.wudsn.ide.asm." followed by the lower case name of the annotation, an equals sign and the unquoted value. Example: "@com.wudsn.ide.asm.hardware=ATARI8BIT"</li>
|
|
<li>All annotations can be placed in comment lines at the begin of a source file. Some of the annotations are only relevant for the main source file, some are only relevant in include source files, some are
|
|
relevant for all source files.
