SLink SLink - An Eclipse Plug-in for SAS® development
This is about a collection of plug-ins for the Eclipse platform. These plug-ins are grouped together under the name SLink and they provide partly integration of the SAS® system into the Eclipse environment. Background
Development of these plug-ins was started because the developer (that's me ;-) was thrown into the job of maintaining a fairly big SAS® SCL application. Coming from a strong Java background I was not really satisfied with the tools available for source code manipulation, refactoring and SCL development. Since we wanted to maintain the SCL Code in CVS the need of having the SCL code outside of the SAS® IDE arose. This triggered first experiments. In addition to that I was interested in seeing how easy or difficult it would be to integrate a somewhat alien system into Eclipse. Disclaimer
All this is coffee-break programming - literally - so do not expect too much from it. It might work for you but it might as well break totally and destroy your work. Be careful! I integrated the features I found useful but I do not claim fitness of this software for any purpose at all. I use it in my daily work, though.
