Third-party libraries for ECLiPSe

Python Interface (released Sep 2012)

Oreste Bernardi provides a Python module that interfaces to ECLiPSe. It is available under BSD license at http://pyclp.berlios.de or http://developer.berlios.de/projects/pyclp/. The functionality corresponds to that of the C interface, and takes advantage of Python's weak typing and garbage collection.

PHP Interface (released Nov 2011)

Andrea Montemaggio has released under BSD license his implementation of a communication layer between PHP and ECliPSe-CLP (aka php-eclipseclp). The project is on Google Code ( http://code.google.com/p/php-eclipseclp ) so you can download it and browse the source code, in the hope this might be useful. All comments, suggestions and proposals are welcome.

Editors with ECLiPSe support

Emacs
 Use this  emacs eclipse mode. Copy the eclipse.el file to where your emacs can find it and add  this to your .emacs.
Vile (vi like emacs)
 Add the syntax coloring filter ecl-filt.l and add this to your .vilerc (works also for Prolog).
Textpad
 Use this eclipse.syn file.

Constraint Solvers

Minisat Interface
A port of the Minisat interface by Codish, Lagoon and Stuckey - Download here.
Grasper
Ruben Viegas has contributed GRASPER, a constraint solver over graphs. It is distributed as lib(grasper) with recent builds of ECLiPSe 5.10 (as part of the eclipse_misc package). A background paper is here.

Cardinal
Francisco Azevedo's Cardinal set solver is packaged with ECLiPSe 5.7#60 and newer.

clp(Q,R)
Christian Holzbaur's clp(Q,R) constraint solver: Download, Manual.

Database Interfaces

ECLiPSe 5.10 and later includes the MySQL interface lib(dbi). Earlier contributions are:

Visual Basic Interface

An interface for embedding ECLiPSe into Visual Basic applictions. This code used to be in the ECLiPSe distribution but can no longer be maintained by ECLiPSe team itself. We are looking for volunteers to take it over! 

parcPlan

The parcPLAN temporal planning system.

Logtalk

Paulo Moura's Logtalk system, an object-oriented extension to Prolog.

Graphics

ECLiPSe graphical interface ProTcXl.

Debugging

Graphical Constraints EnvironmentGrace.

Robolog

Libraries for development of RoboCup simulation league clients. Contains a C/C++ library and a library for ECLiPSe.

Prom

A Prolog-based 'make' tool ( README, download v1.1, papers ) by Thilo Kielmann
