Hi!
I have completed a parser for my language using javaCC.
I would like now to start working on the editor, but i dont know how can i check things like errors and enable code completion.
How can i use my parser to help the editor do these stuffs?

Tks for your attetion i will be waiting for your reply.

My regards, Ramos

You could use EMFText (www.emftext.org) to let you generate a parser and
an editor with complete tooling (code completion, syntax highlighting,
code navigation,...) based on a grammar.
I know that you implemented the parser on your own but maybe it's worth
having a look.

cheers,
Jan
