Naja (a.k.a. Cobra IDE) is an Integrated Development Environment for the Cobra programming language (www.cobra-language.com). Details may be found at http://cobra-language.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=745

Version 0.1 Features include:

• Syntax Highlighting
• Code Folding
• Basic Project Support (Beta)
• TODO / Tasks display (Beta)
• Experimental GUI Designer.

Update: 4/17/2012: Expect by end of May for there to be the first round of autocompletion support.

Planned releases include:

• 0.2 - Code Crusher - provide a test runner GUI for the builtin testing functionality of Cobra
• 0.3 - Vapor - behind the scenese release to refactor code base to support various front-ends/back-ends
• 0.4 - Mastermind - _ autocompletion, improved navigation, documentation_
• 0.5 - Borg Drone - plugin support, version control integration

Experimental (one-way, no loading support) Forms Designer:

• Currently only supports simple controls (no tabs)
• Currently only supports simple properties, even enums are NOT supported.

This is a duck tape and bailing wire feature at this point. It will be ironed out in further releases.

Dependencies:

The Cobra IDE uses the following components:

• QIOS DevSuite ([url:http://www.qiosdevsuite.com/Qios.WebSpace/Standard.aspx?RID=53]) An excellent - zero-cost UI library. Unfortunately it is Windows Only.
• ICSharpCode.TextEditor with the Cobra.xshd from the SharpDevelop plugin compiled into it ([url:http://www.codeproject.com/KB/edit/TextEditorControl.aspx]). The code also inspired some of the editor/menu handling.
• Cobra.xshd from the SharpDevelop plugin ([url:http://cobrapluginsd.codeplex.com/])
• fastJSON ([url:http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/fastJSON.aspx])
• Cobra Compiler ([url:http://www.cobra-language.com])
• UI Forms Designer ([url:http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/DesignSurfaceManager_Ext.aspx])
