I've written code in Tcl/Tk to "tie" programs together mainly in the Unix 
world.  It was very useful but the last time I tried to get Tcl/Tk to work it 
didn't work well (it wouldn't run, I don't remember the issue but there were 
other alternatives at the time).

It looks like Eclipse might fill the bill, I need to do some reading to 
figure out which version is appropriate - EE, Classic, etc.
