Description Wes Hinsley CLA 2005-11-02 05:33:46 EST 
The application I'm working on is a sort of compiler: I have a set of Java
classes (A) for a user interface that when run, finally results in producing
another set of Java files (B). These are then compiled together with a sort of
'kernel' set of classes (C), so that when you compile (B) and (C) together (just
by javac), you end up with the final working Java program.

I would love it if Eclipse could be used to edit the set of kernel classes (C),
in the same way that I can with (A), if that makes sense! The thing is, because
(C) isn't explicitly linked with (A), (ie, no object relationships) I don't get
any of the nice editing features that I do when I edit (A), like being able to
click on a variable/functino and see all the other instances. I can only edit
and save more or less like a text file.
