Plugins development for ECL IDE

[vyasshub]

Hi,
I want to develop plugins for ECL IDE.
Need some guidance on developing plugins(which language I can use C++,Python,C#) and
once developed how to import Plugins in ECL IDE ?

Are you trying to extend the IDE itself or are you trying to write a HPCC Platform "plugin" (one which can be called from ECL)?

vyasshub,

Is your post a response to Lorraine Chapman's post, https://hpccsystems.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=2210&p=9378#p9378, about our summer intern projects -- one of which is "Adding to our list of supported embedded languages"?

@gsmith: Actually I am looking into both , but lets start with extending the IDE itself,
Please let me know from where I can start (documents or links for any related posts)
Thanks in advance for you help.

The latter is currently support (Platform Plugins). The ECL IDE currently doesn't support plugins as such, but as part of the 6.0 release, we are hoping to release the IDE as open source, at which point anyone will be able to extend it.

@gsmith: Thanks for quick reply.
Lets work on developing Platform Plugins.

For Example, I want to develop a plugin for following scenario:

If a programmer editing a file in a module and after editing the file programmer check-in the file, now I want to send an email alert to module lead ,that a particular file in his module is edited and check-in by a particular programmer(lets say we are sending programmer userid in email alert).
