Large development projects require an integrated development environment and the OSP project has chosen the Eclipse IDE.  Eclipse provides color-coded syntax highlighting and syntax checking as well as access to tools such as the jar archive builder and the javadoc documentation generator. An Eclipse workspace can incorporate the entire OSP source code library thereby allowing debugging and single stepping through every program.  And most importantly, a the Eclipse IDE provides easy access to documentation. Highlighting a method or variable name and right-clicking (control or option clicking in some operating systems) takes the user directly to the source code and documentation for the given object or variable.
