There are quite more files on the download section of sourceforge - most .jar-files. How do I use these files?
What does Emonic provide?
- a C# editor with syntax highlighting with code completion support
- a wizard which adds each new C# file to an Apache Ant or NAnt build file
- a build mechanism which invokes Ant or NAnt (which has to be installed separately)
What does Emonic not provide?
- A debugger -sorry!
- Refactorings
- A surface builder
Which .NET implementations can I use?
Microsoft's implementation as well as Mono :-) Emonic supports .net 1.* as well as .net 2.* and 3.*.
Which compiler is used to compile the sources?
Emonic does not use a compiler directly. The build mechanism writes creates a build file and invokes a build command on that build file. Thus, the compiler used is the compiler which is configured in the build's setup. At the moment, Apache Ant and NAnt is supported as a build mechanism. In the case of NAnt, you can choose the compiler via a command line flag. You can write this flag in the Emonic preferences of the nant-start to force emonic to use this compiler.
