Use Eclipse as a server? how? [message #483348]

Hi,

I am writing a client program in Adobe AIR (FLEX) which communicates with my JBoss SEAM server. My client is to be a simple IDE for Java programming.

I want my program to communicate with Eclipse to be able to extract information from classes such as the methods on the classes and to provide refactoring etc, that Eclipse provides. Essentially my client program is a kind of IDE with Eclipse being the server IDE.

How would I go about doing this? What API's does Eclipse provide for introspection and refactoring? could my server program communicate with Eclipse?
Where to go to get started as I don't know where to look to get started?

Thanks, Philip

Hi,

some people here http://eclim.sourceforge.net/ and there
http://github.com/senny/emacs-eclim/tree/master work on similar
projects.

Though I don't use them (yet), I would be interested to learn about
yours too.

You could take a look at Bespin. An experimental Eclipse-based server
side has been written for the Bespin front end:
