Hi Cory,

First, I'm sorry for the delay, ut I had no time this week-end...

As I just answered, I'm sure we can't reuse the idlc compiler for this:
we need to rebuild a tree from the IDL file. This will be used for this
project, but would be useful to provide IDL contextual editing help and
an outline for the IDL files.

Both points 2 and 3 need generic Java and Eclipse API knowledge. Knowing
the Eclipse API is more a good point to start, but it could be learned
easily. There is no particular need for those two points.

Knowing the basic design patterns is always an important point: to
understand the Eclipse API and create clean code.
