Default language to develop a plug-in with SDK

[PlashG]

Hello,
I planned to develop a plug-in for EA. So I want to know if Sparx Systems has a default recommanded language like VB or C++ (in native mode -Win32 console App- or .net/CLR mode).
Thank you for your answer.

I planne use Visual Studio Express 2005.

Anything that works (well) with COM should be OK.

Thank you for the answer.
Last question, do you know with what language EA is developed (Visual C++ 6 or Visual Basic 2008 or Delphi 2006 ?

I really don't remember. I believe it has been mentioned in the forum, but I've not seen it come up for quite some time.

I would advise C# or VB(6, .NET) to create addins for EA.
I've worked with both myself and that went pretty good.
One of the advantages of those is that you can find some examples on the EA website in those languages to get you started.

We've decided to go with C# over here at Saab as well.

In case anyone was unaware, Java is not a viable option because parts of the API are not available - specifically those parts which allow you integrate your functionality into EA's GUI.
