Hi!

We have just released a preview version of X-develop, our cross-platform multi-language IDE for Mono, Java and .NET. X-develop offers features that were previously only available in modern Java IDEs to C# developers using Mono.

More information and a free preview version of X-develop are now
available from http://www.x-develop.com


Feature showcase:

* Instant detection of errors throughout all files

No need to compile in order to find out if there are errors. X-develop checks all files in the solution on-the-fly in the background and displays errors in an instant.

* Refactoring

X-develop includes refactorings for renaming variables, methods, classes, changing method signature, extracting methods and more.

* Productivity features

X-develop boosts productivity with coding tools such as Organize imports, Usage search, Code formatting, Smart templates, Go to class, Go to symbol and more.

* VS.net 2005 compatibility

X-develop uses the solutio/project concept from VS.net 2005. Solutions/projects created for Windows can be loaded and modified with X-develop on Linux.


Current limitations for using X-develop with Mono:

- Development for Mono is currently only supported on Linux x86.

- The Mono framework directory has to be specified using the MONO_HOME environment variable.

- There is no build support for Mono within the IDE until an MSBUILD clone is implemented.

- There is no support for running applications which would be kind of pointless without build support.

- There is no debugging support (AFAIK, there is currently no stable Mono debugging API).

- There is no support for displaying Monodoc comments. Monodoc uses a totally different format compared with XML files used by Microsoft.
