Other Supported IDE's (Integrated Development Environments)

The Project and Solution files for OpenPetra are not created by hand - we use a Project and Solution generator tool for that task. One of the advantages of using this is that it can create Project and Solution files for various IDE's.

This gives the developer a choice between the following IDE's for developing OpenPetra:

  • SharpDevelop (open source, version 4)
  • MonoDevelop (open source, experimental at this stage)
  • Visual Studio (Express [=free] and full [=commercial] editions)

Tools Used for Generating Documentation

  • We are using Doxygen for source code documentation (API documentation)
  • We are using sql2diagram and SchemaSpy for database schema documentation (textual and diagrams)
