DevGuide/CodeEditors
Introduction
So you want to adjust the sourcecode to your wishes, get rid of some bugs that bother you and help to improve the code, great! While theoretically it all an be done with VI and command line instructions, learning to code for Paparazzi this way is a little cumbersome. Therefore it is a good idea to set up an IDE Integrated Development Environment.
As you may have noticed, this page is far from finished, it really would be great if you help to improve this page with even a small improvement.
IDE for OCAML
We start of with OCAML IDE's first

Syntax Highlighting
Eclipse
OcaIDE seems to be the best option for Eclipse. Note that OcaIDE requires eclipse to run under Java 7. No release of ODT since November 2013.
IDE for Python
PyCharm is a great Python IDE with awesome completion, code assistance, debugger and git integration and much more...
IDE for C and CPP
Next are the IDE's for C develpment
Netbeans
Eclipse
Code::Blocks
Debugging tools
GDB
GDB can be used for quite effective Paparazzi debugging. Debuging guide with Eclipse IDE was already described for RT_Paparazzi, but the exact same steps can be used for classic Paparazzi. The guide is here:
