CoIDE is still listed as 'Active' by ST:

But it seems that CooCox and CoIDE are, in fact, now dead - and have been for some time.

Therefore, I think these references should be removed - or, at least, marked as obsolete?

    the development is dead - has been for a while.

    the ide continues to work -> I'm working on a CoIDE 1.7x now.

    Well, I guess once you've downloaded it there's no reason it should stop working

    I have a number of apps on my PC which continue to work but are no longer available or supported - and haven't been for years.

    The page linked from ST doesn't work any more - is there still a download site?

    not sure about the download site: I stopped going there after v2.0.

    v1.x is however fabulous. it remains my favorite platform for ARM chips.
