RE: [cdt-dev] FW: [eclipse-dev] C# plugin for Eclipse
|
I'm writing a C# grammar from scratch using an early adopter version of
ANTLR v3 which is BSD licensed. Once ANTLR v3 reaches completion, I'll bring
it through the Eclipse legal to hopefully allow it to be included in Eclipse
projects. For now, you'll have to download it separately and install it into
the appropriate projects (more on that later).
ANTLR is LL(*) BTW, where I assume LLK is, well, LL(k). ANTLR is much more
powerful and makes grammar writing a hell of a lot easier. It actually meets
the needs we had for our C++ grammar which we ended up doing by hand because
none of the parser generators could do LL(*). Good times ahead for us parser
writers :)!

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!
