If you are a PRO/5® developer and would love to leverage all that the Eclipse IDE has to offer such as BASIS and third party code management plug-ins, there is a new option for you. Try using Eclipse and the Business BASIC Development Toolkit (BDT) plug-in to edit your PRO/5 programs.

  

Using the BDT's import function to list your tokenized PRO/5 program, you can begin editing an ASCII version of it. BDT's CodeEditor gives you syntax coloring, problem markers, outline viewing, and a number of other helpful development features. And now, with the newest BBjUtils plug-in for Eclipse, you can even compile your PRO/5 source code into PRO/5 tokenized code - and see the pro5cpl output.
