Interestingly enough, it seems that a version of LPEX, written in JavaLanguage was originally in one of the early versions of Eclipse. It appears to have been removed since.

Can someone confirm this? -- RonPerrella

: It is apparently part of IBM's WebSphere? Studio and you must license that to get it. --DMcCunney

Personally, I found LPEX to be very similar to and EPM on OS/2. -- RonPerrella

Apparently, LPEX and Code400? are both used from jLPEX? a new dialect of LPEX.

The LpexKeyboardLayout? is a derivative of the typical IbmEditorFamily KeyboardLayout.
