CodeMax
CodeMax is a source code editing component produced by WinMain Software. The OpenSTA Modeler (as of release 1.4.2) uses version 2 of this component to allow colored editing of SCL. Version 3 of CodeMax is not OpenSource and not available to be used in OpenSTA - it is also the only version that it currently made available by WinMain. The licensing for version 2 of CodeMax meant that it was open source but it was far from free of restrictions, the worst of these is that WinMain retained the right to be the sole public distributor, ie. no-one else can make the source or binary component publically available. A Yahoo Group for CodeMax 2 used to provide a public support forum for CodeMax with WinMain's blessing and this group does have the CodeMax 2 distribution in its files area (for members only); since the release of CodeMax 3 this group has been made private (no new members) and thus if you have not already joined there is no good way to get hold of the CodeMax 2 distribution.
The status of CodeMax is a problem for future versions of OpenSTA and the hampers the ability for any new developers to build OpenSTA in even the current version.
A future version of the ScriptModeler will need a new source code editing component, one propesed replacement is Scintilla.
