Hi All,

Sorry for long time no reply, has been a busy week. I appear to be
mostly set, I'm managing to make changes and test them, so everything
seems to be configured correctly.

Thanks Andornaut, I must still look at this. In the mean time I'm
progressing on my own branch, so it hopefully won't be too difficult to
merge the changes back in or post a patch.

Luckily this is not the case. Or rather, AFAIU, the only project I am
changing is org.python.pydev, so only that one needs to be built each
time (and, apart from my changes, it does build), it's the other
projects that have missing deps, but as I'm not changing them, I don't
need to build them. So far everything seems to work, I can make
changes, run as "Eclipse Application", and see a new Eclipse with my
changes, so I can test.

I must still have a look at the test suite and see how to add one. I'm
leaving that for last :) mostly because I'm not familiar enough with
anything to have clear ideas of how I intend to implement it.

I'm happy to report some success so far. I've got code folding working
for some hard coded tags, and have finally managed to get somewhere on
figuring out the whole preferences page stuff. I'm still busy
putting custom tag preferences together, then I need to expand the
folding code to allow multiple tags instead of just one, then it's on
to the test cases.

I have found some other stuff that looks weird, but I don't think it's
due to what I'm doing, but I still need to verify that it exists in the
current code folding.

A few hurdles, and much learning still to do. Probably going to take
more time than it should, but at least I feel I have a solid start.

Many thanks for the help so far

Paul
