Understanding JDT implementation [message #208021]

Hi,

I would like to understand JDT implementation, i.e. static relationship
between packages/classes, dynamic flows etc...
Right now my only resource is JDT Javadoc (and the code...). Are there any
class diagrams or sequence diagrams or other resources that may help me to
better understand JDT implementation before I dig into the code?

Thanks in advance,
Oren.

AFAIK, there's no big design document about the internal implementation -
it's all in the code.

Some aspects of the implementation are presented in the tutorial
29 Java Tool Smithing - Extending the Eclipse Java Dev. Tools
from this year's EclipseCon:
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2005/tutorials.php
http://eclipsecon.org/2005/presentations/EclipseCON2005_Tuto rial29.pdf

If you want to use JDT as a client, also check the eclipse help system:
Help > Help Contents > JDT Plug-in Developer Guide > Programmer's Guide

Thanks for the links.

I'm working on a mechanism that will enable the extension/customization of
JDT by means of aspect-weaving. My main barrier is to understand what is
going on "behind the scenes" of JDT. Hence, more links are welcomed...

Thanks again,
Oren.

Did already you look at the AspectJ and AJDT Eclipse technology
projects? If not I suggest to do so.

Hi,

I'm not planning to reimplement AJDT.. :)
It's something else, I guess my explanation was quite fuzzy.

Thanks,
Oren.
