Yes. In fact, JDT has a built-in Java compiler in their implementation.
Maybe it was easier to do it for them because the Java spec is easier
and doesn't fluctuate that much as the D spec. And JDT used that
compiler all over the place for getting all those IDE features.
Exactly. Java hasn't changed much in the last 10 years (ok, just now it
starts to changed again). JDT also contains a full compiler, not just
the frontend, so it can compile all code. This would be nice to have for
D as well but I think the frontend is the most important part.
Yes. I'm still thinking how could it be done but I have no idea at all
how to do it. I can't figure out what that API would look like.
I like the idea of a new thread for this discussion. Eventually me or
someone else should start it. :-P
