Symja Eclipse EASE plugin

Symja computer algebra language integration with Eclipse EASE - scripting environment for the Eclipse platform

Requirements

The Symja Eclipse EASE plugin requires the installation of

• the Eclipse EASE - scripting environment
• the Eclipse Nebula - Supplemental Custom Widgets especially the Nebula NatTable - high performance SWT data grid

Installation

• Unzip the content of the ease_symja.zip release file file into your eclipse/dropins folder.

• Restart Eclipse.

• Open the EASE Script Shell view to run a Symja command (open menu Window->Show >View->Other... and Scripting->Script Shell)

• Create files with *.sym extension to run or edit Symja scripting files

• an example Github repository contains some Symja example scripts.

Usage

Use Symja as a script shell

Editor for Symja files

The *.sym file extension is mapped to the Symja editor

The Symja editor supports content assist (press Ctrl+SPACE after typing the beginning of a function), syntax highlighting and displaying function documentation

The *.sym file extension can also be started as a Symja Script (EASE Script) launch configuration. The Script runs independent from the Symja Script Shell view

In the help pages you can find a getting started guide for the Symja language:
