This plug-in adds support for editing Protelis (.pt) files from within Eclipse, with syntax check, highlighting, and code suggestions. The goal of the Protelis language is to make it easier to build a resilient and well-behaved networked system out of an assortment of different potentially mobile devices. Protelis is designed for the paradigm of "aggregate programming", a way of thinking about and decomposing problems that can be solved with a network of distributed sensors and computers. Aggregate programming tries to produce reliable and robust collective behavior from uncoordinated local interactions between machines.
