Hi all,
I would plan to attend EclipseCon but could not find much anything in the
conference program about how to write plugins for JDT and for extending JDT
itself. Since JDT is such a big part of eclipe and a lot of people are
working on extending Eclipse for APT, AspectJ or Java-like languages and
generators, I think there should be interest. It is also needed because the
public information is sparse. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the
inner workings of JDT to do this myself, but maybe somebody else can ?
Sincerely,
Morten Christensen, Denmark

Hi,
I am learning Ruby already and I like it ... mostly :-)... However, my issue
is more about how to extend >> JDT << and about how to build an eclipse
based IDE. For example imagine that you want to make your own code generator
that interacts with JDT or support your own Java++ language with a few extra
features without reinventing the wheel. This is where extending the JDT
comes in.

As to the JDT itself, the conference program only lists a presentation "The
Making of JDT" which sounds mostly like a history lesson and not really
about how to extend the JDT. Is this the submission you are refering to ?
Sadly, this years EclipseCon seems really to lack in-depth information about
how to contribute to and extend the JDT.

The thing is, the JDT is all Java specific. There's a lot of common stuff in the ide package (which is what tools like RAD uses).
If you are looking at adding stuff to the JDT, why not look at how some of the refactorings are implemented? They get down and dirty with the JDT internals. Also, you might want to look at the stuff in WTP which extends the capabilities with HTML and JSP like editing that uses a combination of both.
In other words, there's nothing about JDT that makes Eclipse an IDE; the RadRails is an IDE that's based on the Eclipse frameworks, just with a different language. It sounds like you've got something (Java-)specific in mind, in which case your only chance is going to be jumping into the internals and getting down and dirty with it...
Alex.

Morten,
As can be seen by the other responses, "extending the JDT" is a broad
topic, as extensions can occur at different levels and in different
directions.
I have proposed a short talk based around our experiences from working on
AJDT (AspectJ Development Tools). This involves model and UI based
extensions, which may or may not be the area you're interested in.
The proposal is here:
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=390
Regards,
Matt.
