Has anyone looked into creating an Eclipse plugin for editing D?

Is there any other IDE yet?

Andy Friesen (http://ikagames.com/andy/d/) has already created a plugin for Eclipse.

I use Colorer for syntax highlighting, and CDT for error parsing and common management.

Highlighting but no outline... hmm

I've never got it to work properly with the most recent development build of Eclipse (3.0M6 on either windows or linux).  It cannot open a D file. Instead it displays an error in the editor window.

John,

I'm working on that right now.  I have Andy's code and I'm taking a look.  There were some changes to the Eclipse jar files that I'm tracking.  I'll post whatever I find here.

As for "highlighting but no outline" I don't know if I'll get to that.

I'm currently running (one of) the JavaScript editor project(s).

Let me know if you need a hand.

I'm going to be working on this for a while, but I would like to hand it off eventually and D looks like an interesting thing to play with.

I actually was able to get Andy's plug-in to work with Eclipse 3.0 M6 without changing code.  I unzipped it to C:/eclipse/plugins (the zip started at C: and I did it using folders), so all the files ended up in C:/eclipse/plugins.)

I restarted Eclipse and all the *.D files were associated with the D Editor which highlighted D code just fine.  I don't know what your issue is, but I've set this thing up on Win and Linux.  Let me know if you need further help.

My original reply was because I was in the code tinkering with the plug-in to see if I could get it to do more, like Alex was wanting.

I'll take a look at his JS plug-in and see if I can borrow some ideas.

I've tried it more than once and installed it the same way you did.  It registers as an installed plugin after reloading eclipse.  Whenever I try to file open a D file, the editor opens with an error message displayed. I can create a "new" D file and all the syntax highlighting works, but I can never open existing D files.  I'll look into it again; I'll see if I can get it working on windows again... now that I think of it, I can't remember if I tried it there.

On Linux, you may have some case sensitivity on the *.D files.  In the plugin.xml file, change the

extensions="d" attribute in the <editor> tag to lowercase.  Just a thought.

P.S.  You ready to look at some dwt code?  I still have forward reference problems that are driving me crazy.
