Welcome to the CEDET homepage. CEDET is a collection of tools written with the end goal of creating an advanced development environment in Emacs. CEDET is hosted at Source Forge. You can view CEDET's CVS archive, and project summary here.

Emacs already is a great environment for writing software, but there are additional areas that need improvement. Many new ideas for integrated environments have been developed in newer products, such as Microsoft's Visual environment, JBuilder, Eclipse, or KDevelop. CEDET is a project which brings together several different tools needed to implement advanced features.

Please visit individual project pages for additional information and downloads.

An article about the JDE includes some pointers to CEDET, and mentions some of these tools.

EIEIO: Enhanced Implementation of Emacs Interpreted Objects
is a package which implements a CLOS subset for Emacs. It includes examples which can draw simple tree graphs, and bar charts.

Semantic
is a Infrastructure for parser based text analysis in Emacs. It creates parsers in Emacs Lisp. Includes interfaces to all common tag-like features in Emacs.

SRecode: Semantic Recoder
is a template authoring and cataloging system. Includes base templates for several languages and sample SRecode applications. Currently available from CVS only.

CEDET/common:
The CEDET common subpackage contains small utilities recently drawn out of some of the other tools. Some example tools include:

• working - A busy meter.
• sformat - Souped up format.
• cedet-autogen - Autoload generators extended for eieio and semantic.
• inversion - Package level versioning system.
• ezimage - Simple way to declare and display images in all versions of Emacs.
• pulse - Fancy overlay color pulsing.
• pprint - Pretty printer for Emacs Lisp values.

Speedbar
Speedbar is an Everything Browser. It creates special skinny frame to display hierarchical data. Speedbar supports file/directory trees, Info manuals, EIEIO class browsing, project browsing, context analysis/autocomplete, EIRC groups, xshtml, and VHDL. It can be rigged to display just about anything.

EDE: Emacs Development Environment
EDE is a project management system. It implements projects under Emacs making it easy to maintain programs without learning make. This depends on EIEIO.

COGRE: COnnected GRaph Editor
COGRE, pronounced like cougar, is an interface to managing connected graphs, such as UML class diagrams.

CEDET tools including EIEIO, Semantic, Speedbar, EDE, and COGRE are now distributed together in a single file. This simplifies installation and version management.

While Some individual CEDET packages have active stable releases, the CEDET bundle is currently only available in Beta or Pre release. CEDET Betas are the only place to get the latest versions of individual tools.

PRE RELEASES

CEDET is currently driving toward a 1.0 release, and small changes are going onto each pre-release. Try out a pre-release and send in bug reports on the build process, or anything else.

Try out cedet-1.0pre4.tar.gz.

Try out cedet-1.0pre3.tar.gz.

Emacs Code Browser (ECB) lets you browse your files' contents. Uses the Semantic package.

Checkdoc is a program which checks the style of your documentation strings and comments. Useful if you want to keep other Emacs Lisp gurus from picking on you.

C-Parse is an Emacs Lisp program which can parse a c file, and allows searching for functions, variables, and types. CParse is no longer supported. It's tools will be ported to Semantic.

X11 lib calls for Emacs, V 0.3a Imagine the binary network interface for X windows implemented in Emacs Lisp. Is it useful? Silly? I dunno, but it was fun to play with. No documentation. Byte compile it, load "xhello.el" and run the function `XX' for the simple demo.

Newer versions of this X package are in CVS, and can be downloaded from the very nifty XWEM project (Window manager written in Emacs Lisp). You can download that from XWEM home page.

Hangman game for Emacs. About as simple as it gets.
