Hi All!
How can i get acess to the source code of the plugin or plugins that form the java text editor of eclipse?

I ask this, cause i need to see how they did the content assist and anottation hover and all that so i can implement my own language IDE.

Tks for your time,

Regards, Ramos Very Happy

André,

You'll likely find PDE spy useful for tracking down how things are
implemented. Alt-Shift-F1 (and Alt-Shift-F2 for menus) will be
helpful. Also helpful is to bring up the Plug-ins view, select all
plugins, and from the context menu invoke Add to Java Search. You can
import plugins as source from the Plug-ins view's context menu.

If you're going to implement a language IDE, you should have a look at
Xtext because it will generate a lot of cool stuff (including content
assist) from just the grammar of your language.
