GNOME Builder is a general purpose integrated development environment (IDE). It was initially released on March 24, 2015.[4]
Features
- Since GNOME Builder has been specifically addressing "GNOME App" developers from its inception on,[5] integrated access to GNOME Devhelp is available, the ability to easily add DBus and GSettings into applications, git integration, and the ability to debug and profile your application with Perfkit and Nemiver.
- There is support for developing xdg-app applications.
- GNOME Builder offers syntax highlighting for many programming languages through GtkSourceView.
- Code completion is available for the C-languages (C, C++, etc.) and Python, with additional languages under development.
- Plugins are supported and can be written in Python and Vala.
- GNOME Builder is not meant for programming languages that don’t have strong support for GObject Introspection.
User Interface
Most of the interface is dedicated to the centrally positioned code editor. The editor automatically recognized most programming languages and will highlight the text accordingly. When a version control system is used, colored bars next to the line numbers indicate changes to those lines. For supported languages, additional symbols highlight lines that contain errors or poorly formatted code.
Builder can switch between Builder's own, Vim and Emacs keyboard bindings.
Around the code-editor additional panels can be toggled into view. This includes a project-tree, a terminal-window, and a help-browser. The project tree allows the user to perform file and folder operations.
Development
The development of GNOME Builder was crowdfunded in January 2015. The campaign reached 169% of its funding goal (55360 USD).[6]
