A new IDE is planned about every year, the JCL will follow this move.

Following the Borland changes

Borland decided to separate its IDE (Integration Development Environment) and ALM (Application Life Management) branches by the beginning of 2006. The JCL uses only code and tools shipped with IDE. The natural way is to follow the IDE branch in CodeGear. Some JCL files contain "Borland" in their names, to preserve backward compatibility, these file names will be kept.

Help

We are looking for contributors to write documentation contents. If you are interested in writing, contact us.

For now, our documentation system uses Doc-o-matic to create files in HTML, Winhelp, CHM and Help 2.0 formats.

We will migrate all our help topics to this wiki in a near future. Then, all registered and anonymous users will be able to edit the help topics provided some captcha is solved.

Support for FreePascal

Some files can be compiled with FreePascal. If you want to improve this support, contact us.
