Overview:
As the field of computer science continues to grow and evolve, new problems that arise in the field are being approached. In both industry and research, new solutions are explored to adapt to these problems, one being the creation of a new programming language.
This is the case with Ptolemy, an extension of the Java programming language that supports additional features that make it attractive to solve problems faced by larger programs and event driven programming.
Currently, the Ptolemy language does not have an easily distributable method of use that many programmers or students would have access to.
Our goal as a team is to create a development environment suitable to be used in the creation of Ptolemy programs, for the popular Java IDE, Eclipse. This plug-in will boast features suitable to develop in the Ptolemy language. This plug-in will be able to boast creation and development of industry level programs in the Ptolemy language.
