Tcl Plug-In for Eclipse by Greg Pierce
Just wanted to post a new message that I created a Tcl Plug-in
for Eclipse using TclBlend from the tcljava SourceForge project.
They have not included my changes into TclBlend as of yet.
Therefore, you'll have to apply my patch:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1499782&group_id=13005&atid=313005
TileQt version 0.4 beta 1...
A new version of TileQt has been released, version 0.4 beta 1.
It can be found at:
http://www.ellogon.org/petasis/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=40
The most notable changes are the addition of support for the ttk::paned
and ttk::sizegrip widgets, as well as initial support for Qt 4.x
(currently, all widgets except scrollbar, notebook and scale are supported).
Also, a small graphical configuration utility has been added
(config-rpm.tcl) that can help configuring TileQt in rpm-based systems,
if both Qt 3.x & Qt 4.x (devel rpms) have been installed.
Of course many bugs have been fixed.

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his report on the Wiki:
A new season is nearing - wet and grey, depressing ...
But the French Wiki holds a lot of goodies for the
MacOSX programmers - so look at <http://wfr.tcl.tk/4>
if you can read French!
Bits and pieces
- KWWidgets is yet another GUI library, this one
cooperates smoothly with Tcl/Tk and has interfaces
to visualisation libraries - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/16657>
- While human beings can easily determine a nice range
for an axis in a plot, computers have to be carefully
instructed - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/16640> summarises
a few approaches.
- Uninvited guests on your computer ... some eavesdropping
on TCP/IP that you want to detect or prevent? Here are
two pages on that: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/12105> and

- What would the Tcl parser be mumbling, if it could
mumble? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1012> may provide insight
in the interpretation of your Tcl code.

that can learn - but hush, it is only a programming
construct: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/16645>
