This is a great idea! I am currently building an Eclipse plugin to use in my COBOL migration practice. It should be fairly simple, if not tedious. Do we want to use BSF4OOREXX, or do we want to use Java? What do we want it to do?

I don't know how hard it is to generate a grammar for Rexx, using for example Xtext or ANTLR if the latter one does not offer enough functionality. If Xtext can be used, we get the editor (with content assistent!) for free. However, one has to think about interfacing with ooRexx then, because of the Java/C boundary...
