Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for extending programmer workbenches for handling programming language differences are provided herein. A method includes determining syntactic differences between a first programming language and a second programming language; determining semantic differences between the first programming language and the second programming language; creating a comparative help list for the first programming language and the second programming language by generating, for each of multiple language elements in the first programming language, an entry for the comparative help list that comprises a correlation of items of content, the items being associated with a given language element of the first programming language to language elements of the second programming language, wherein said correlation is based on (i) the syntactic differences and (ii) the semantic differences; and outputting at least a portion of the comparative help list to a component associated with a user.
