JSC Eclipse 0.1.0 release

Hi community,

I’m very happy to announce the first test release of Java SuperCollider for Eclipse (JSC 0.1.0 alpha).


JSC is a collection of plugins for Eclipse with the goal to create a cross platform IDE for the programming language SuperCollider. In it’s current version it only works with Microsoft Windows operating systems but future support for GNU/Linux and Mac OS X is planned. It should still be possible to use the JSC plugin under GNU/Linux or Mac OS X but all system dependant features (compiling SC, interpreting code, …) will not be working and I have not tested it yet – feedback is welcome.

JSC was intended to be used with a dynamic link library called JSCLangModule that establishes a connection between Java and SuperCollider (similar of what PySCLang/Psycollider does for Python). The bad news is that I will not be able to distribute this library with JSC because of license restrictions in the GNU General Public License that prohibit linking GPL software with EPL (Eclipse Public License) software. The good news is you can download this library separately if you want (only Windows). But I’m not sure if the GPL allows one to use the library with JSC so you have to decide for yourself. I’m sorry for this inconvenience.


JSC started as a seminar project on the IEM Graz in the summer 2007 under the lead of Prof. Alberto De Campo. I want to thank Alberto very much for his support and for making JSC become possible. Since then I have continued developing the software and now I want to make it available to the SuperCollider community.

Until now JSC has been mainly used by myself so it will still need lots of testing and bug fixing. I’m very interested in all kind of feedback you can give me.

Greetings,
Dieter Kleinrath

Beware: JSC is still in alpha and needs a lot of testing and bug fixing. In it’s current state I do not recommend using JSC for live projects. I do also not recommend using JSC with an existing Eclipse installation or Eclipse workspace. JSC will make changes to your SuperCollider system extensions directory. Before using JSC I recommend making backups of all your files.

Information about installation, features, licensing and some screenshots are available at the JSC for Eclipse homepage:
