Wolfram has released Workbench 2, a development environment targeting the enterprise level. Users can edit code, manage projects, and run debugging processes. The title integrates with other Wolfram software, such as Mathematica and gridMathematica. Version 2 allows companies to integrate documentation into Mathematica apps, using special editing tools.
Improvements to code editing allow commands like comment grouping, or finding references to functions, packages and symbols. Some front-end integration upgrades include automatic setup of Mathematica every time a project notebook is opened, and configuration of access to palettes and stylesheets from a notebook's front end. Tools for webMathematica 3 have been added, and the underlying Eclipse platform has been advanced to v3.5.
Mac, Windows and Linux versions of Workbench 2 are available; each typically costs $145, though special discounts are available for students, governments and schools.
