Re: [jdt-ui-dev] pointers to get started on a formula renderer for the Java editor
|
Hi Stephen,
From your descriptions it's not quite clear, how your LaTeX
expression renderer is supposed to be integrated with Eclipse.
As you call it a renderer and not a WYSIWYG editor, I assume
the Java editor will remain untouched.
Creating a separate view should be easiest implementation-wise,
where the only communication with the editor would be to get the
text at the current selection. Perhaps, creating a variant/copy of
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.infoviews.JavadocView would be a good
starting point, if you want to re-use some of the normal rendering
for javadoc comments.
That said, I believe the JDT forum[1] would be a better place to
discuss this, since the mailing list jdt-ui-dev is intended for
discussions regarding the development of JDT/UI itself.
best,
Stephan

Hi all, I'm an experienced developer but am a newcomer to the Eclipse codebase.. my goal is to build a LaTex expression renderer so
that mathematical expressions can be rendered as mathematical formulas in the Java comments, etc. there is a java tex library
already https://github.com/opencollab/jlatexmath which I've used and is quote cool.. I just need to know the fastest way to get up
to speed on how to implement this idea.. any tips/suggestions etc are appreciated.
