[jdt-dev] Extending the JDT for alternative JVM languages

Hi folks,

I'm taking up Olivier's invitation at EclipseCon to start a
conversation on this list about how those of us extending the JDT to
support alternative JVM languages (Scala in my case) by various less
than optimal means can collaborate with you folks to improve the
situation for all of us. It would be great if other JDT extenders
would introduce themselves here too.

One concrete suggestion for a first step that was made at the JDT
extenders BoF was that we revisit Andrew Eisenberg's CompilationUnit
provider patch,

  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36939

My experience is that whilst this doesn't go the whole way, it
definitely addresses the first obstacle that has to be overcome to
make any real headway on the problem.

What do people think about this?

Cheers,


Miles
