Re: [cdt-dev] FW: [eclipse-dev] C# plugin for Eclipse

[Chris Recoskie <recoskie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

They generate their parser via LLK.  The resulting generated parser code is
under the LGPL license, as they use the example C# grammar, which itself
was LGPL.  The LGPL is not compatible with the EPL currently.

I am not a lawyer but I think that makes the idea of contributing it to
Eclipse dead in the water for now.

I second Mike Milinkovich's point that if CDT seems to be the best place
for
 a C# Eclipse, then so be it!

However, I would just like to point out that there is already a C# Eclipse
plugin in current development [1].

It's also quite far along, with the following features (quoted from the
webpage):

- Syntax highlight.
- Smart indent.
- Outline page.
- Format action and syntax checking.
- Comment and uncomment actions.

Doug Schaefer: I'm looking at the proposal, and I'm not quite understanding
whether Rebecca Chernoff will be working on a Mono Eclipse plugin or the
IDE
Generator?

Thanks!
