Re: [jdt-core-dev] question about the new JDT index work

Hey Stefan,

> What do you want to do with it, specifically? Index another JVM language? Index another non-JVM language? Index Java code outside the IDE? Use the same style of network database for something other than language indexing?

I am exploring this at the moment. I am looking at a situation where I don’t have any Eclipse resource model available, so no IJavaProject at all.
More a list of JARs and Java source files…

And yes, Java is the language I am looking at at the moment… :-)

The goal for me (the thing that I am trying to explore) is to query the search index for available types and their relationship.
In the future for more details, like method signatures.

What do you think, given my brief summary above?

I would love to help you with the new index - if time permits and this turns out to be the technology of choice for us… :-)
And I totally agree, you deserve a lot of help working on such an important piece of JDT.

Cheers,
-Martin
