ICE
Welcome to the main wiki page for the Eclipse Integrated Computational Environment (ICE)!
ICE extends the Eclipse Rich Client Platform by adding support for working with scientific computing projects and repackaging various Eclipse development tools to better support the development of scientific software. Like these other pieces of the Eclipse ecosystem, it is easy to generate custom plugins for your project, so that you can use the tools in Eclipse ICE to expose model (input) generation, job launching, data analysis and visualization capabilities for yourself or your users.
This wiki contains all the important information you need for using ICE. You can search using the search bar on the left, or get started with the links below:
If you have any questions that this wiki does not address, you are more than welcome to email us directly at ice-dev <at> eclipse.org or eclipse.ice.project <at> gmail.com.

Contents
User Tutorials
The following tutorials cover some but not all of the applications that Eclipse ICE supports. These tutorials are written for users that want or need to use ICE to work with these codes.
Tutorials to assist developers can be found on the Developer Documentation page, which contains information for those looking to use ICE for their own projects or to work on ICE itself. The developer tutorials provide extension amounts of information on how to write (or generate) the code required for ICE to recognize your software. So, if you want to use ICE for your project check out those tutorials instead and only use the user tutorials as examples.
