Component Pascal is a programming language in the tradition of Oberon and Oberon-2, the last language Niklaus Wirth designed before he retired in 1999. It bears the name of the Pascal programming language but is incompatible with it. Instead, it is a minor variant and refinement of Oberon-2, designed and supported by a small ETHZ spin-off company called Oberon microsystems. Their IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is called BlackBox Component Framework. It presents a novel approach to graphical user interface (GUI) construction based on editable forms, where fields and command buttons are linked to exported variables and executable procedures.
An Open Source implementation exists for the .NET and JVM platforms, from the Gardens Point team around John Gough at Queensland University of Technology in Australia.
On June 23, 2004 Oberon Microsystems announced that the BlackBox Component Framework was made available as a free download and that an open source version was planned. The beta open source version was initially released in December, 2004 and updated to a final v1.5 release in December, 2005. It includes the complete source code of the IDE, compiler, debugger, source analyser, profiler and interfacing libraries and can also be downloaded from their website.
