History
On August 2006 Eran Ifrah, CodeLite's author, started a little project named CodeLite. The idea, was to create a code completion library based on ctags, SQLite (hence, CodeLite) and a Yacc based parser that could be used by other IDEs.
LiteEditor, a demo application - was developed for demonstrating CodeLite's functionalities. As time passed, LiteEditor turned out to be an efficient coding environment and so CodeLite was born.
