PyDev for Script Tab
Posted: 10 May 2012, 11:54
Hello,
since developing import-, export- and migration-scripts using Jython in the Script Tab is not really comfortable we looked into the possibility of using a real IDE for this purpose. We found a way to use "PyDev" (Python IDE for Eclipse) for script development including a real debugger! Basically Protégé will be started from within Eclipse and the PyDev remote debugger will connect against it and execute a script.
Before we go on to finalize the solution by building a full Protégé plugin for PyDev I would like to be sure that I did not overlook existing solutions to this problem. I cannot believe that we are the first users of the Protégé Script Tab to be unhappy with the development environment but we could not find anything using Google. Does anyone know of other solutions for this? How are others handling complex script developments?
Best Regards,
Ulf
