Hello friends,
I need to design an IDE for a custom (syntax similar to C) language.
So far I have referred some books like designing of 'commercial
plug-ins using eclipse' and 'eclipse in action'.
But i need some specific help related with IDE development.
Eclipse does provide number of interfaces, mechanisms to design IDE,
but i am unable to find such information (which interfaces can be
used, how you can add pop-up windows etc)
So can somebody guide me, any 'simple' plug-ins, pdf files or direct
help, in any possible way...
thank you,
Sameer

Supporting a new language in Eclipse is not an easy task. I think the CDT
probably took 20 or 30 person-years of development, although that's just a
guess, and of course it's still a work in progress.
If I were in a hurry to support a C-style language, I'd start by copying the
CDT and then modifying it as needed.

Hi there, I'm in the same venture, I've just recently started working on
an Eclipse IDE for a C-family language (the D programming language).
Here is some info I've found so far in the net (note that I am focusing
on the core part of the plugin) :

I have also been looking into JDT code for some ideas. If you know of
any more useful info, please let me know as well.
