Currently I am working on porting the component JFace.Text. This is the editor that eclipse uses internally.

AFAIK the only graphical Editor available for D GUI is Scintilla. This
one is used in DCode/Entice, Poseidon. JFace.Text will bring in a new
Editor component, ported from Java to pure D.
Does someone know if a comparison JFace.Text vs. Scintilla exists?

Key Features of JFace.Text
- Undo/Redo/find/replace
- Linenumbers
- Text templates
- Folding
- Problem+Quickfix markers with automatic update while typing
- Hovers, Links
- Context menu management
- Proposals
- Rules as basis for parsing the text
- Annotation of the text (put problem description or breakpoint location
to the text)
- Syntax highlightning
- Revisions of the text and difference view
- ....

The current state is that 434 of 443 files are compilable.

So the boring stuff is done, now some manual coding is still needed to implement missing stuff from the java runtime environment (BufferedReader,StringReader,Pattern,Matchers,...) and some Java synchronize stuff.

I hope to have waken someones interest... I could use some help ;)

Hallo Frank, I've just annotated your text with // xxx

Guess you will "map" BufferedReader and StringReader to tango.io. ??

Do you plan to implement Pattern and Matchers around tango's regex, or do you plan to create something new ?
bjoern
beside, having a look at the DWTxxx repo. from time to time it becomes more and more clear  that you will be soon pretty much prepared for Declipse...

It's really awesome!!!
It's the most exciting project ever in D I can only say!
I can't imagine a whole eclipse in D !!! You really have spent a lot of effort on it!!!

From the experience I work with scintilla, it gives less feature compared to the Java Editor component.
Also Java Editor is able to do some nice autocomplete(scintilla is buggy Miller said. Also Java Editor gives an overall more professional & more smooth feel. The highlighting feature , codefolding all nicer than scintilla. the ability of code folding in scintilla is a pain in the ass. )

I'm wondering how you deal with plugin code? I've brought up an idea of plugin on process communication. It's a clean and portable solution.
Also the process based plugin won't crash the whole application when a plugin crashes.

Thanks. But whole eclipse is really far behind the horizont. My vision is the eclipse rich client platform.

I would like to see a Poseidon, implemented with new DWT and Descent.

I also do not know yet how to deal with it. At the moment I just ignore
that as far as possible.
The plugins in eclipse use the OSGi. I thought this could perhaps be
done in D with DDL.

I will not map (alias?), but do wrappers. See dwt.dwthelper or dwtx.dwtxhelper. And those wrappers are around tango, but they could be reimplemented for phobos also *blink*

The JFace Text framework in D? Pretty cool :)
The ideia of having Eclipse functionality in D is pretty awesome! If we had the whole Platform available it would be ass-kicking, but it would also be an herculean effort.

I hope some D IDE devs will pick it up to create a D IDE written in pure D. *blink*
What is needed from the Eclipse framework? Probably not all, and perhaps even less to start with?

How can one implement plugins in D?

Ary Borenszweig Wrote:

In theory this can be made with a DDL like mechanism.
IMO in the first run, it can be ignored and you just compile the configuration you want.
A dummy OSGi/Equinox API could be used, so the code is still compatible.
