Otherwise writing applications is really easy.Īs for communicating with people who don't have Mathematica? Tell them to get Mathematica it works and it's worth it.įrank, does this mean you put your packages, stylesheets and palettes in Workbench? Is this actually seamless or convenient? It must mean that you do all of your development within Workbench and use straight Mathematica only with the deployed result. Everything is there except Documentation. Somehow this vision of Mathematica as a development AND communication medium got lost. An earlier form of documentation was available to all in Version 5. It really should be available to ALL Mathematica users. Perhaps a separate documentation facility could be provided. I don't know if user documentation has to be tied to Workbench. It is rather a shame that all the publications of papers on aren't accompanied by Mathematica paper/applications. They are orders of magnitude better than current publication practice. Papers in the form of Wolfram notebooks can be supported by applications and may be included within an application. An application is the best way to communicate your work to others. Documentation is an optional but usual part of an application. It is a part of preserving your work and making it accessible to others. Most users, doing math and science, don't really need this aspect of Workbench.ĭocumentation is a different matter. I'm sure this aspect of Workbench is important for internal Wolfram work what with all the C code, and there may be a few enterprise level customers who would make good use of it. Mathematica is a fairly sophisticated IDE itself. I don't find any need for an auxiliary IDE. I find it easy enough to debug just by inserting temporary Print statements in routines. Even though I work on moderate size applications and sometimes with a few other people, I don't find a need for these extra features. It is only the documentation that interests me. However, there are two applications of Workbench: 1) Documentation 2) Everything else such as debugging, integrating C code, multi-person projects etc. I certainly would welcome and encourage WRI to produce a new public version of Workbench. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to support this post I've been working with the new Eclipse Plugin (in combination with Mathematica 11 for 2 weeks now and find that it works really well, have not been able to find mayor errors :)

It also looks like this plugin is free to use, so no extra license is required (for now). Not sure if we contributed to this, but Wolfram has released what look like the internally used Wolfram WB plugin.

Seperate the functionality (Profiler, Documentation tools) from WB and support (for example) the IDEA plugin.

Release (the already internally available) Workbench.

IDE to develop large WL programs/packages: (Proper meaning: debugging, refactoring, code hinting, search multiple-files etc.).

Unit Testing (although this is already included in Mathematica 10+, it feels a bit awkward to me to run a nb for unit testing).

Creating native Mathematica Documentation.

Please let me (and wolfram) know that you are also interested in a new version of the Wolfram Workbench. They advised us to create a public topic on this and ask for support of the community to make this a higher priority at Wolfram. The reason that they did not invest in this is probably that Workbench has not got many users, and therefor the effort to create a public version is too great in comparison to the number of users.

They responded that they use a more up to date version internally at Wolfram (with some sort of automatic update system) but this version has not been made public as it would require some effort to create a distributional version of it. I asked whenever we could expect a new version of Workbench, as the current (public) version 2 is very out dated. Last week I attended the Wolfram Tour (which was great).
