Web and Desktop Tools & IDEs

The Eclipse IDE is one of the most popular IDEs releasing successfully every quarter. It comes packed with a lot of powerful features and capabilities that enable the users to be more productive in their day to day work. With the faster release cadence and active community contributions many new features are added in every release.

Writing docs in your IDE - an AsciiDoc primer

Alexander Schwartz (Red Hat, Inc.)

Follow the documentation-as-code approach: Write documentation in your IDE, collaborate with other developers and writers using version control and let a continuous integration server scrutinize and publish your docs.

AsciiDoc is a lightweight markup language that translates for example to HTML and PDF. In your development environment, an IDE plugin provides editor support and preview pane. Every commit to your version control system not only enhances your program, but also your architecture, developer or user documentation.
