Colored syntax higlighting pleeez.....
I guess it'll cost some. Any estimates?

CodeBench (using the C/C++ plugin) generates makefiles for you. These are standard makefiles that can be used with the OS4 port of Make.
It also currently generates up to 3 levels of dependancies in the makefiles too, so they are quite comprehensive. As you say, you can simply "Make" the makefiles that are created, but I doubt you will want to code, on OS4, without it once you get used to it.
The editor features things like automatic function discovery and tracking, so you can simply highlight a user function in the source and select "Go To Function" and it will take you to that functions code. All functions in the current file are also available in the "Quick Link" window, so you can simply click it to go there.
User definable labels are also supported for instant "Bookmarks" in the current file, and again are available from the "Quick Link" window.
There are many other features, of which I should really sit down and write a full list, but the project wide search (and replace) is very handy, and the search results window shows you which file, which function and at what line the hit was found, plus it allows you to jump there by simply clicking the item in the results pane.
During development, there have been a few times where I have rendered CodeBench unusable, and having to resort to other methods of editing code has made me appreciate just how ueful CodeBench really is. I find it extremely awkward to code without it.

Well, the idea is to have a limited version with a C/C++ plugin (preconfigured for the AmigaOS 4 SDK) available to be distributed with the next SDK update.
This will then give SDK customers an instantly available common base to start working. Whether this happens is another matter, there is still a lot of work to do.
Access to the full product, which will enable some features not in the limited version, and any plugins that may be finished, will be a commercial purchase. Pricing is yet to be determined, but I'm not intending on pulling anyones pants down with the cost!
As for importing existing projects, the project window makes that very easy. Simply create a new project, and set up the base data required. Then simply select "Add Files" and multiselect all the source, header and data files required for the project. They will be put into their correct categories automatically for you. Then hit "Build"!
I have tried to make this system as painless as possible, and so far it seems to be working as expected. I am able to pull files from the OS4 CVS, and create a project as described above, and it has worked everytime so far.

). I like particularily the fact that contrary to what most of the other existing IDE (any platform) do, CubicIDE is relying on *standard Makefiles* to build, this allows to build projects even when not having access to the IDE (cross compilation for example), that's really an important feature in my eyes and is not an option : *use standard building system*. And BTW parsing/generating of makefiles is not so difficult
