AIDEa is an experimental, service-oriented Integrated Development Environment platform implemented in Free Pascal using Lazarus.
AIDEa is not a Pascal IDE. It is designed to support multiple programming languages and operating systems through a common runtime architecture. Language-specific functionality is provided by Engineering Service Packages, which define grammars, object models, compiler integration, project structures, templates, documentation, conventions and other engineering knowledge as external declarative resources.
The first Engineering Service Package targets Free Pascal, making Pascal the initial supported language.
This Developer Preview is intended for evaluation and community testing and is not yet recommended for production use.
Current features include workspace, solution and project management, multi-tab source editing, visual form design, compiler integration, templates, object/property/event inspection, and AIDEa is now capable of building itself on
