Hi All,
I am working on a project where by, I need to develope an IDE for a simple
language that I am developing. I know that I can do that in Eclipse but
what I don't know is "where to start". Here is what I want to do:
1. User should be able to create projects and add one or mode source files.
2. Source is developed using customized language, hence need a complete
editor.
3. I also need CVS support, so that the user will have versioning
capablity.
4. Customized menu/toolbar so that the user gets to see only required
actions.
5. I have a parser that generates java code from the specified source code,
hence I would also like a debugging support (but at the custom language
level (desired, but not required immediately)
6. How to package this so that I have the smalled footprint/package size.
Any help will be greatly appreciated to get me started.
BTW, Eclipse rocks.
Regards,
-RD

I would highly recommend that you do not embark upon such a journey
without "The Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse" at your side. This is a
book by Sherry Shavor, Jim D'Anjou, Scott Fairbrother, Dan Kehn, John
Kellerman, and Pat McCarthy. Most Barnes and nobles bookstores have it in
stock.
In particular, there is a whole chapter about creating editors. In
addition, there is a tutorial on creating a custom editor usng something
like SQL as an example language.
I have been just starting with Eclipse development and I know that I saved
hours of discovery and frustration becuase of this book. It's over 800
pages and covers some hidden tips on the use of eclipse as well as a
wealth of info (probably the most comprehensive available) on how to
program for it.
Cheers,
- Cody

I have this book and find it interesting. As far as editor is concerned,
yes it has a very detailed example. But this book talks about Eclipse 2.1
(not a big problem though...). My main worry is not about writing an
editor, but is about packaging it.
When I package it finally for my end users, I don't want all the default
menu and toolbar actions. I want to define my own menu and tool bar as
well as perspectives. But at the same time I still need the functionality
of workbench and JDT. At this point I don't know how to do that.
