How about Emonic [1], yet another C# plugin I just found? It's CPL licensed, and also has a few nice features, including "color-highlighting, outline, word-completion and build mechanism via Ant or Nant." Chris Recoskie: Do you know per-chance if the CPL is EPL-compatible? I think there are three C# Eclipse plugins for Eclipse currently in development: 1. Rebecca Chernoff, with Doug Schaefer as her mentor for the Google SoC 2. Emonic [1] 3. Black-Sun [2] And, there's Improve Technologies' C# plugin which hasn't been in development for a few years now [3]. I think if we merge our efforts, we can create a truly powerful C# plugin for Eclipse, one that rivals Eclipse's powerful Java support. I will try to contact the respective authors of these plugins, because so far I do not see the reason to take separate paths down the same road. What does everyone else thing about this? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :) [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/emonic/ [2] http://sourceforge.net/projects/black-sun [3] http://www.improve-technologies.com/alpha/esharp/ -- Karl Pietrzak kap4020@xxxxxxx
