Re: [linuxtools-dev] pondering moving sdl / opengl docs into libhover 
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the details. I'm reading the page you suggested. Being a newbie at this, a lot is un-familiar to me. Could you help out on these points:
> Libhover exension: ... Let's examine an example which specifies libhover help for the glibc C Library:
I wasn't sure how to track down the xml mentioned here initially, I managed to find it by: 
- Browsing to my "eclipse/plugins" sub-folder
- Unzipping the "org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.libhover.glibc_1.1.0.201202152032.jar" file 
- Opening the "plugin.xml" within it in a text editor
Am I going about this the right way? Or is there some nicer/easier way to browse Eclipse plug-in files/details within the IDE itself?
> C Library Data: The simplest form of Libhover data is for C functions. Looking at org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.libhover.FunctionInfo:
How do I browse to the code you mention for FunctionInfo. I tried the following: 
- Unzipped "org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.libhover_1.2.0.201209191645.jar"
- Browsed to the "org/eclipse/linuxtools/cdt/libhover/" sub-folder
- Tried opening "FunctionInfo.class" in Eclipse, but I just see an error in the editor saying:
Could not open the editor: The Class File Viewer cannot handle the given input ('org.eclipse.ui.ide.FileStoreEditorInput').
I googled this online, someone mentioned eclipse can only view .class files if they are part of the current workspace/project. Oh, so should I unzip this jar and import it into an Eclipse workspace as a new project? 

Regards,
Gurce

Hiya all,

I'm using Eclipse in our Linux work environment. I was pondering options to
add OpenGL / SDL documentation inline within the Eclipse environment.

The closest possibility I saw was the libhover project. Would you say that's
the right direction I should be looking at?

Absolutely.

Anyone have any pointers on where to start this journey? What to ponder? How
to get more familiar with libhover?

You would better start with
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/Libhover/Developers_Guide
. If SDL use some well known format for the documentation you might
have easier task e.g. libhover has built in support for gtk-doc
generated one. Let us know if you have any question and consider
contributing back so others can use the SDL docs easily too.

Alex
