Wolfram Research has announced the release of Wolfram Workbench 2, the leading solution for enterprise-class software development and deployment. New in version 2 is the ability to create documentation for your Mathematica applications, as well as a host of improvements to code editing, navigation and more. Workbench is used throughout Wolfram Research, it is a key tool for the development of Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha and other Wolfram technologies.

Built on the Eclipse software platform, Workbench 2 combines Mathematica's ever-growing programming language and world-renowned computation, visualization, and modeling features with one of the world's leading integrated development environments (IDEs). Developers will have the luxury of working with any Eclipse-supported language, making Workbench one of the market's most efficient organizational tools.

“The ability to develop for different technologies, through all stages of the development cycle, within one application significantly increases productivity,” according to Adam Berry, senior developer of Workbench. “By removing the need to change environments, Workbench allows you to focus on your development, instead of your tools.”

Workbench lets you code as you think, using multi-paradigm expression language in tandem with first-class tool support. Workbench helps minimize your transition time from development through maintenance. Achieve faster development and deployment with Workbench’s top features, such as:

* Source editor with syntax coloring, code folding, and error reporting
* Integrated debugging, profiling and unit testing
* Mathematica pattern-based search, warnings and refactoring
* Industry-standard version control support
* Eclipse plug-ins for enhanced language support

Workbench was integral to the development of Wolfram|Alpha. As the world's first computational knowledge engine, Wolfram|Alpha has millions of lines of code that must interact and work together, as well as many groups and team members working on the same code base. Workbench lets you quickly track down bugs and other problems and easily solve them. Features like version control support let you check out a project, work on it, do tests, and then check code back into global repository.
