So, just to expand the scope - what kind of plugins should be possible: 1. Source control plugins - Git, Mercurial, Subversion... 2. Theme/Look-n-feel plugins 3. Syntax highlight plugin - Clojure, Markdown, Textile, XML, Leiningen project.clj, Rakefile, Ruby 4. Tool plugins -- Leiningen, Marginalia, Heroku, AppEngine
Features: 1. Debugging using JPDA/CDT 2. Preferences - fonts, key bindings, JDK, Clojure versions 3. Workspaces - project management, source dirs, dependencies etc 4. nREPL support Regards, Shantanu On Jul 19, 1:12 am, Shantanu Kumar <kumar.shant...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > You may also consider building a plugin architecture for Clooj.
