Smart typing in editor [message #323991]

I'd like to implement smart typing (auto-closing parentheses, curly
braces etc.) in my editor. Is there some infrastructure I can reuse or
should I implement everything from scratch?

I've googled but all I've found is
www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-text/3.1/plan.html ("typing" section).
Has this plan been realized?

Cheers,
Dimitrios

There is infrastructure around that allows you to write those things
yourself - like the Java editor does. If you write a textual editor then
you can use the protected LineEnd/StartAction.
