Solo Programming is a plug-in for the 
Eclipse
development environment.
When developing in Eclipse, Solo Programming can be your virtual
pair programming partner. If you cannot find a pair programming partner
in your team, or if your boss has not seen the pair programming light
yet and won't let you do pair programming, you might want to give this
plug-in a try. We hope you will find it useful. You can copy this
plug-in freely, so don't hesitate to share it with your friends and
collegues!
Supported Languages
The current plug-in has messages in the following languages:
English, Japanese, Romanian, Dutch, German, Portuguese, French. If
anyone wants to help translate these messages to another language, we
will gladly accept your contribution. Please send email.
