Re: [cdt-dev] A minimal implementation of a language in Eclipse

Hi!
 
      Thank you Derek.  I just wanted to add that I talked some more with Mozart-Oz, and they don't mind if I am the project lead even though I perceive myself to lack experience.  They are just glad that someone is interested!

Another article you might find interesting is the Eightbol project here:

http://www.eightbol.org/

To quote:
It was created because we wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to create an IDE
for a new language by extending the Eclipse CDT.  The Eightbol IDE can be
recreated from scratch in about an hour, complete with Outline view, debugger
support, CVS support, and other advanced features.

Good luck!
