<li>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. <br /> <img src="productions/java/ide/features/ide-editor-content-types.png"

<li>The toolbar button for "Build and Run" offers a pulldown menu that allows running 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 shows different behavior
|
||
than another or in case you have specified a build script as a user-defined application in the preferences

possible target, the type and line number of the target are displayed in a hyperlink popup. All included source
|
||
files are also taken into account like in the content outline. In case there are targets from different files,
|

the file name is also displayed as a differentiator in the hyperlink popup. <br /> <br /> <img

<h5 id="HexEditor">Hex Editor <a href="#ide_features">» top</a></h5>
|

<ul>
|

<li>Read-only hex editor to inspect arbitrary files</li>

<li>Available via context menu including multi-file-selection to open several files at once <br /> <img
|
||
src="productions/java/ide/features/ide-common-context-menu-open-with-hex-editor.png"
|
||
alt="Open With Hex Editor" /></li>
|
||
<li>The "Open With Hex Editor" menu entry closes an existing editor in case the file is already opened and thereby
|
||
forces the file to be opened with the hex editor. In addition, the hex editor is set as the default editor for
|
||
this 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 the default editor again by just using the "Open With"
|
||
context menu entry</li>
|
||
<li>Available via hyperlink navigation for binary includes</li>
|
||
<li>Context menu to copy parts of the file into the clipboard in different formats:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>hex values (".byte $01,$02,...")</li>
|
||
<li>decimal values (".byte 1,2,...")</li>
|
||
<li>ASCII string</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
This is very helpful to turn parts of a file into source code. The possibility to copy/paste into the binary
|
||
file itself in order to modify is prepared but not working yet and will be completed later. <br /> <img
|
||
src="productions/java/ide/features/ide-hex-editor-context-menu.png" alt="Hex Editor context menu" /></li>

<li>Support for binary files, Atari COM files, and Atari Disk Images <br /> <img

|
||
</li>
|

<li>The possible file modes for a binary file are computed automatically and used as default when opening the file
|

</li>
|
||
<li>Unsupported file modes are detected and cannot be used</li>
|

<li>Files with a block structure get an outline in the outline view</li>

<li>The image palette view associated with the graphics editor displays the palette entries and the color histogram.
|

It supports filtering of unused colors, sorting by index and color frequencies, pre-settings, and editing the

<li>Support for relative file paths. If the file path is in the same folder as the ".cnv" file, it is automatically
|

converted to a relative file path when the file name is defaulted or picked from the file browser dialog. This

allows to move the ".cnv" file and the referenced source files around together without breaking the saved paths

<h5 id="CompilerAnnotations">Annotations for compiling <a href="#ide_features">» top</a></h5>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>For most use-cases, the defaults provided for the compilers and in the preferences are sufficient. But if you
|
||
want to 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 that you can put into the source code files.
|
||
These annotations override the defaults and the preferences.</li>
|
||
<li>All language annotations start with the prefix "@com.wudsn.ide.lng." followed by the lower case name of the annotation,
|
||
an equals sign, and the unquoted value. Example: "@com.wudsn.ide.lng.hardware=ATARI8BIT"</li>
|
||
<li>In earlier versions of WUDSN, language annotations started with the prefix "@com.wudsn.ide.asm.".
|
||
While they are still evaluated, it is strongly recommended to adapt to the new prefix.</li>
|
||
<li>All annotations can be placed in comment lines at the beginning 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.</li>
|
||
<li>@com.wudsn.ide.lng.hardware
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Defines the target hardware for which the preferences shall be evaluated, in particular, which emulator
|
||
is used to run the output file.</li>
|
||
<li>Allowed values are "APPLE2", "ATARI2600", "ATARI7800", "ATARI8BIT", "C64", "NES".</li>
|
||
<li>This annotation is relevant for all source files.</li>
|
||
<li>This annotation is only evaluated when a file is opened. So if you add this annotation or change its
|
||
value, you have to close and re-open the file once.</li>
|
||
<li>Example: @com.wudsn.ide.lng.hardware=ATARI8BIT</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>@com.wudsn.ide.lng.mainsourcefile
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Defines the main source file to which the current include source file belongs. When the "Compile" action
|
||
is executed, the main source file is compiler instead of the current file.</li>
|
||
<li>Allowed values are file paths relative to the folder of the current include source file and absolute
|
||
file paths.</li>
|
||
<li>This annotation is only relevant in include source files.</li>
|
||
<li>Example: @com.wudsn.ide.lng.mainsourcefile=ExampleMain.asm</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>@com.wudsn.ide.lng.outputfoldermode

<ul>

||
<li>Overrides the "Output Folder Mode" from the preferences.</li>
|
||
<li>Allowed values are "SOURCE_FOLDER", "TEMP_FOLDER", "FIXED_FOLDER".</li>
|
||
<li>This annotation is only relevant in the main source file.</li>
|

<li>Example: @com.wudsn.ide.lng.outputfoldermode=SOURCE_FOLDER</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|

<li>@com.wudsn.ide.lng.outputfolder
|

<ul>
|

<li>Overrides the "Output Folder" from the preferences and the "@com.wudsn.ide.lng.outputfoldermode"
|
||
annotation.</li>
|
||
<li>Allowed values are file paths relative to the folder of the main source file and absolute file paths.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>This annotation is only relevant in the main source file.</li>
|
||
<li>Example: @com.wudsn.ide.lng.outputfolder=..\out</li>

</ul>

</li>

<ul>
|

<li>Overrides the "Output File Extension" from the preferences.</li>
|

<li>Allowed values have to start with a period.</li>
|

<li>This annotation is only relevant in the main source file.</li>

</li>
|

<li>@com.wudsn.ide.lng.outputfile

|

<li>Overrides the "Output Folder", "Output File Extension" from the preferences and the automatic

computation of the out file name based on the main source file name.</li>
|

<li>Allowed values are file paths relative to the folder of the main source file and absolute file paths.
