Lua Development Tools (LDT) is about providing Lua developers with an IDE providing the user experience developers expect from any other tool dedicated to a static programming language.
Like many other dynamic languages, Lua is so flexible that it is
hard to analyze enough to provide relevant and powerful tooling.
LDT is using Metalua, to analyze Lua source code
and provide nice user assistance.
LDT is an Open Source tool, licensed under the EPL.
All Documentation is available on the Eclipse Wiki, so feel free to contribute to improving it by fixing spelling mistakes, errors, or providing new content!
LDT User Guide can be accessed directly from the Eclipse Help ("Help > Help Content" menu).
It is also available directly on the Eclipse Wiki.
