# Symja Eclipse EASE plugin

 

 

[Symja computer algebra language](https://github.com/axkr/symja_android_library) integration with [Eclipse EASE - scripting environment](https://www.eclipse.org/ease/) for the [Eclipse platform](https://www.eclipse.org/)

 

 ## Requirements

 

 The Symja Eclipse EASE plugin requires the installation of 

 - the [Eclipse EASE - scripting environment](https://www.eclipse.org/ease/)

 - the [Eclipse Nebula - Supplemental Custom Widgets](https://www.eclipse.org/nebula/) especially the [Nebula NatTable - high performance SWT data grid](https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/)

 

 ## Installation

- Unzip the content of the [ease_symja.zip release file](https://github.com/axkr/ease_symja/releases) file into your `eclipse/dropins` folder.

- Restart Eclipse.

- Open the `EASE Script Shell` view to run a Symja command (open menu `Window->Show >View->Other...` and `Scripting->Script Shell`)

- Create files with `*.sym` extension to run or edit Symja scripting files

 - an [example Github repository](https://github.com/axkr/symja_examples) contains some Symja example scripts.

 

 ## Usage

 

 ### Use Symja as a script shell

 ### Editor for Symja files

 

The `*.sym` file extension is mapped to the Symja editor

The Symja editor supports *content assist* (press `Ctrl+SPACE` after typing the beginning of a function), 

*syntax highlighting* and displaying *function documentation*

The `*.sym` file extension can also be started as a Symja Script (EASE Script) launch configuration.

The Script runs independent from the *Symja Script Shell* view

In the help pages you can find a *getting started* guide for the Symja language:
