The goal of this page is to offer a better file hierarchy for Eiffel libraries included in EiffelStudio. Currently (as of EiffelStudio 6.4 and older) you have a flat representation of libraries under $ISE_LIBRARY and they are represented by their name. Our goal is to provide a hierarchy based on what they provide. Our inspiration is the FreeBSD ports hierarchy which is only one level deep.
Here is the list of libraries included flat in EiffelStudio 6.4:
- api_wrapper: Make it easy to call C routines from dynamically loaded shared libraries
- argument_parser: Parsing the command line arguments of a program
- base: Kernel library classes, data structure, reflection, I/O
- com: COM technology
- diff: Diff and patch facilities
- docking: Facility to have a customizable UI.
- Eiffel2Java: Calling Java from Eiffel
- encoding: Transforming text in one encoding to another encoding
- event: Low level mechanism to receive a UI event when a file/pipe has something new.
- gobo: Gobo
- gobo_extension: ISE gobo extensions
- graph: Representation of graph in UI (See diagram tool in Eiffel Studio).
- i18n: Internationalization library:
- lex: lexical analysis
- memory_analyzer: Memory analysis
- net: Networking library
- parse: Parsing:
- preferences: Facility to store user preferences
- process: Facility to start and follow processes
- store: Relational database access
- testing: Testing facility
- thread: Threading in Eiffel
- time: Time facility
- uuid: UUID generation facility
- vision2: Platform independent UI toolkit
- vision2_extension: Extension to Vision2
- web: CGI facility for Eiffel
- wel: UI toolkit for Windows
A proposed structure would be:
