as the project lead of the XEclipse project I might give you some details about it. The project listed in the GSoc page aims at building a feature-rich editor for XEclipse with all the features we are used to see in "standard" IDE editors (e.g., syntax highlighting, completion, etc.) In order to attack this project a good knowledge of the Eclipse architecture is needed. I might give you some pointer just to have an idea of what it will be needed: This book http://eclipsercp.org/book/ is definitely a must-have book in order to understand Eclipse's architecture and framework. Maybe your university library already have a copy you can borrow. This is an interesting tutorial about editors that also shows the (complex) Eclipse editor architecture: http://www.realsolve.co.uk/site/tech/jface-text.php Basically, this tutorial is the starting point for the project. Feel free to ask other questions. Cheers, Fabio _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
