Hello eclipse community,
I'm new here, but not necessarily new to java. I like programming and want to contribute to the eclipse community.
I need a T-SQL Editor but there is no good OpenSource or free-to-use out there. So I want to create one by myself (and help of good people).
My Vision:
* Formatter
I was looking pretty much for a good SQL Formatter program on the internet and google, but I couldn't find any good Open Source Plug-in/Program.
Most of the plug-ins had limited formatting options and I couldn't change it the way I need them, with any editor.
Eclipse has no explicit formatter for .sql files.
* IntelliSense (code completion)
Our DB-Servers are cross used (we don't connect to server:port/database but server:port only) So we need Intellisense to chose from the database names, intellisense for choosing tables and intellisense for choosing fields of the tables.
So I want to make this plug-in for Sybase and MS SQL Server (both use T-SQL) connections - I want to use JDBC to connect to servers.
* Keywords
I want to highlight (or however you call it) keywords (select, update, delete, from, where, exec, begin, rollback,...). It should be configurable like formatter, with import and export funktions.
* (T-)SQL Templates
when using intellisense, the user should be able to add templates which are choose able.
* Results
We use the Data Source Explorer and SQL Scratchbook (SQL File) to connect to db and execute statements. The problem is the Result, it is displayed as a "table" but we can select the whole row only. We want to select every field separate as we need, when possible multiple fields with shift+click.
this is my plan. I want to realize it as an plug-in for eclipse. I'm new to plugin development so I don't know if I should create Views or just properties or whatever. I need to spend more time with it.
This plug-in should be used by my company, but I do it in my free time. I want everybody who needs it to be able to use it.
My Project should be:
- Open to public
- Developed by user of my choice and me
- Bug tracking
- Forum?/other communications within this project (I have no experience with mailing-lists or Newsgroups)
My Questions:
1.) How can I set-up such a project?
2.) What should I take care of when setting up the project (licenses, using code of others)?
3.) Where can I find information and support to plugin development?
4.) Where can I find information and support to Intellisense development?
My Benefits:

> I spend my time more useful

> My collegues can use my Plug-In and help me develop/test it
I hope there are not to many questions already answered in other topics. I started to read the documentations on Eclipse Projects, but there is sooo much information about it, I can't filter the necessary information.
I'm happy about every serious answer and wish you a nice evening.
Cheers, beo

You can host your project at Eclipse Labs. See here:
