Europa [L1 ] is the 3.3 major release of the Eclipse Java IDE platform.
An interesting component is the DLTK project [L2 ]. This essentially brings IDE capabilities to dynamic languages. They currently feature Ruby and... TCL! This is an exciting development since it exposes to large number of developer eyeballs.

- Why not taking a 03:10 minute video tour presented here at... [L3 ], where a Tcl mymath package is driven by a test script, to convert decimal numbers into binary representations, an error was planted into lappend command inside the mymath package on purpose, in order to illustrate the debugging processes within Eclipse DLTK, typical breakpoint, step into, step out, step over,... watch variables were very nicely organized & presented. Enjoy the ride!
- Found this installation instruction, Running Eclipse as a Tcl IDE with the DLTK plugin[L4 ], it's for Eclipse 3.2 + DLTK 0.7, I believe latest versions are: Eclipse V3.3.1.1 + DLTK 0.9.
- From Re: Dltk-dev Tcl Eclipse DLTK install guide. [L5 ], and RE:Activetcl dbgp_tcldebug.exe - Availability? [L6 ], I learned that the debugger behind the scene in the aforementioned video demo is dbgp_tcldebug.exe, a functional component of Komodo.
