Licensing
When will the NuGram platform 2.0 GA be released?
The NuGram platform 2.0 GA will be released in the first quarter (Q1) of 2009.
NuGram IDE will come in two versions: A Basic Edition that will remain free of charge, and a Professional Edition. A limited version of NuGram Server will be available as part of the NuGram IDE Professional Edition. The full version of NuGram Server will be released separately.
The final features list and pricing strategy for the NuGram platform will be available at the end of 2008 at the latest.
How will NuGram IDE Basic Edition differ from the Professional Edition?
The Basic Edition will be a fully functional IDE for developing ABNF grammars (static or dynamic). The Professional Edition will add more advanced features for use in larger projects, like automated or offline grammar converters, as well as customer support.
The final features list and pricing strategy for the NuGram platform will be available at the end of 2008 at the latest.
Using NuGram IDE
Do I need a runtime component if I only use static grammars?
NuGram IDE can be used for developing both static and dynamic grammars. However, NuGram Server is only required when you need dynamic grammars to be generated on-the-fly by the application at run-time.
Note that there are some classes of dynamic grammars that can be generated (instantiated) when the application is developed, when it is built, or as part of the application maintenance process. These dynamic grammars can be generated using NuGram IDE or the offline tools without having to use NuGram Server. (Common use cases for dynamic grammars are described in two blog posts.)
Is there any documentation? How can I access it?
NuGram IDE comes with a complete reference manual integrated into the Eclipse Help system. To open, select the Help > Help Contents... menu item and select the Grammar Development Reference Guide document in the left pane.
The reference guide can also be accessed from the product website.
Troubleshooting
Since NuGram IDE is still in beta, there may be some
incompatibilities introduced between two versions. Close all the open
editors in Eclipse, then restart Eclipse with the -clean
option. If that does not solve your problem, please contact the
support team.
Contact the support team. Make sure to describe your system configuration (operating system, Java version, Eclipse version, and NuGram IDE version) and the steps required to reproduce the problem. This will help us diagnose the problem more efficiently.
