How to implement a on-the-fly compiler? [message #18602]

Hi all,

I have a question for JFace Text Framework(org.eclipse.jface.text). I am
going to have a new programming language with a specific compiler tool.
Now the source can be compiled while user saves the files, it was done by
extension point org.eclipse.core.resources.builders. Now I want to have
the on-the-fly compile capability which is similar to JDT tool. May anyone
know where I can find more information for this? I'm not sure whether the
on-the-fly compile/build function is part of JFace Text Framework? But
because JFace Text Framework provides lots of edit capabilities, such as
syntax coloring, content assist, folding...etc. I assume it might be there.

Anyway, thanks in advance for your helping.

Charles

I think this would receive more attention in the eclipse.tools.jdt
newsgroup, so I'm copying it to there.

The JFace Text framework has means to call the model when the text
changes (aka reconciling). Of course you then need to update the model
based on the actual text. This might help:
