Re: [rap-dev] Is RAP sufficient to build web-based IDEs?

["Mike Wrighton" <mike.wrighton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm certainly interested in developing a RAP widget which can provide at least the basic functions of StyledText so that I can do syntax coloring. If anyone could give me any guidance on this or point me in the right direction to get started, that would be great.

I think the other problems can be resolved. It is important to note that you want to make sure that your core bundles are multi-session ready.

I can imagine having a "development server" where the tools run directly on the server with multiple users working on the same projects / models. But getting there is not our main focus at the moment. If you are interested in driving this forward let us know.

Hi,

I think there are a good deal of problems to solve. The first one you mentioned already - StyledText. I didn't do too much research, but I think this alone will be a bunch of work to do. A text editor also does a lot of things from which I would suggest that the implementation makes heavy use of key-events. It's at least questionable if we can provide a key-event implementation that scales on such a usecase. Last thing that comes into my mind by doing a little brainstorming is that eclipse uses the workspace for file storage, but with RAP the workspace is shared across the sessions.

Ciao
Frank

Hi,

This is a bit of an open question, but I want to get a an idea of how feasible people think it would be to develop a web-based IDE using RAP e.g. a cut-down version of the CDT or JDT? From what I understand, the StyledText widget is missing at the moment which appears to be the first main issue. Would implementing StyledText be a big job and are there any other major hurdles?

Mike
