Wedge jGRASP : About

jGRASp is a freeware IDE from Auburn University (http://www.jgrasp.org/). It is written in Java and supports several languages such as Ada, C, C++, Java... A small program called the Wedge allows jGRASP to communicate with external compilers, debuggers and executable programs. The Wedge is specific to each operating system.

The distribution file of jGRASP contains only a Wedge for Windows, Linux/Unix and MacOS X. So, I have written a Wedge for OpenVMS.

The Wedge of jGRASP for OpenVMS is free software. The Wedge of jGRASP has been successfully tested with OpenVMS 7.3, Java 1.4.1-2, jGRASP 1.6.4 and the Ada GNAT 5.00a compiler. It should work with subsequent versions of OpenVMS, Java and with others compilers.
