The ProvideX Plug-in for Eclipse has been designed to provide an environment that integrates into the existing Eclipse framework and extends that infrastructure to ProvideX developers. This plug-in automatically converts tokenized ProvideX programs into text files and captures any additional control information (passwords, owner codes, and flags) as part of the conversion process. Once a program has been converted into text it can be used with many of the existing capabilities and other plug-ins available in Eclipse. This includes, but is not limited to, various change control systems such as CVS, Subversion, and MKS. The native version tracking that is part of the Eclipse framework can be used to keep track of localized modifications at the workstation.
The plug-in also allows third party collaboration to enhance or extend the capabilities of the plug-in.
