Koder helps you write, and test and optionally compile Scriptmaster functions. If you don't use FileMaker and ScriptMaster, you will not care about this :-)
Koder requires "ScriptMaster" from 360works, http://www.360works.com/scriptmaster/. It also requires FileMaker 11 or FileMaker 12. Currently ony the 11 file format is available. You can convert it and it should work just fine.
###This tool has a couple of goals:
- Reduce the write, debug, test cycle time for writing ScriptMaster Functions
- Make it easier for developers to share ScriptMaster functions
###It also has some strong opinions.
ScriptMaster executes Groovy not Java. But if you are like us, and you learned Groovy first, you probably think this is A VERY GOOD THING. Therefor Koder is focused on using the Groovy way. While you can of course use Java within Koder/Groovy projects, Koder will allways favor Groovy.
For more info on Groovy and how it relates to Java see the Groovy Web Site
###Key Features
- allows you to use the editor/debugger/IDE of your choice
- keeps all code in text files, not in a database.
- Built in class compiler allows for code re-use without maintaining a second project
- built in support for Registering functions, compiling plugins or using raw groovy.
Koder hasn't been in the wild very long. I have been using it for about a year. But only recently has any one else besides me used. It has been used mostly on the mac so the expearience should be smoother there.
