When is expect the release of the Wolfram Workbench 3? Currently I'm using the Mathematica 10.0.1 and have Premier Service Plus (with Mathematica Online).

Just a quick note - I have been using the pre-release Workbench 3 and Mathematica 10 on a project at work. While this is pre-release and has some issues, I am using it productively on a daily basis.

One goal of this project is to evaluate the possibility of using Mathematica and The Wolfram language as an application development language. The presence of Workbench should not be underestimated. Workbench definitely contributes a plus to the evaluation - especially when evaluation is done by software developers.

The fact that Workbench 3 can still be used with straight Mathematica and does not require a Cloud connection is extremely important. We are often tasked with safeguarding and securing data for our clients that contain personal and health related information, IP and other sensitive material. To mitigate the risk and liability of a data breach, solutions must pass a very specific set of STIGs. A solution that does not meet these STIGs is deemed too risky.

The "Workbench 3" being talked about is a special-case, limited-release, pre-prerelease version that fixes a serious problem connecting Mathematica 10 and Workbench 2.

If your Workbench mostly works with your Mathematica, this "Workbench 3" is not relevant for you.

Hi George,

Thanks very much! In the Windows version:

1. Select the "Preferences" item of the "Windows" menu.
2. Click the "Wolfram" item,
3. Click "Edit" on the Wolfram Engine Installations and browse to the installation of Mathematica to use.
4. Click OK.
5. Save any outstanding changes to the currently open project.
6. Clcik File | Restart.

To set the path to Mathematica in Workbench 3:

1. Right click the project in the Navigator and click the "Run As | Run Configurations..." item of the context menu.
2. Click your project in the left-hand pane of the "Create, manage, and run configurations" dialog.
3. Click the "Wolfram Engine Installation" tab.
4. Click the "Manage Installations..." button.
5. Click the "Edit..." button to modify the path used for Mathematica.
6. Click the "Browse..." button to set the path to the Mathematica installation you wish to use.
7. Click the "Apply" button. Click the "OK" button.
8. Close the "Run Configurations" dialog.
9. Save any outstanding changes to the currently open project.
10. Click File | Restart.

Hi Jon - Wolfram had kindly sent me a link to download and try Workbench 3. The main updates are:

Wolfram Cloud Integration - This version has functionality that allows you to work with either a local Mathematica or the Wolfram Cloud (there is a new perspective "Wolfram Language Development").

Editor Improvements Improvements to completion - Camel case and case insensitive completion.

Unit test support improvements that directly support Mathematica 10 Unit Testing

Using version 3.9 of Eclipse editor

There are some differences but overall this looks very good.
