Tool philosophy

Possible tool organizations:
- Provide a brand new tool with an embedded editing environment for elucidative programming
  - The Dogma System
- Introduce a separate tool and augment an existing editor with knowledge about elucidative programming
  - Typically a Unix and Emacs solution
- Include elucidative aspects into current integrated programming environments
  - Long term goal?
  - Actually tried out with the Java Elucidator and TogetherJ
  - Why not make an Eclipse plugin?

Many programmers do not want to be forced into a new and specialized editing environment
