Sir,
Sorry for being vague in my previous mail.

Hi Fabio, Malaka,
After my discussion with Stephane, we've decided that Malaka should
continue with improving the core editor as such..
That is, better syntax highlighting and stuff..
What do you refer to when you say "stuff"?
By 'stuff', I meant the following:-
Syntax highlighting and coloring
Content Assists,
Quick Fixes & error marking..
Auto Edit Features & formatting support
Context Information
Double Click Strategies,
Text Hover features,
appropriate partitioning..
Except 'error marking' and quick fixes, as you would have seen from my
code, I have implemented the other features to a large extent. Though,
lot of work will have to be done to make it perfect, which is what I
was hoping malaka would do.
I've implemented a bit of ContentOutline
Page, (that shows the overall
view of the page, like titles, paragraphs overview etc), as a
TreeViewer implementation.
For now, I'll try to integrate the present
editor with xeclipse
extension. Then, I'd try to introduce wikimodel support, that is,
conversion of one syntax to another syntax. For this, I think we'll
have to code editors for all other syntaxes too, since after
conversion, we'll have to support editing in that syntax.. right??
Actually this is exactly what the GSoc project is about (not just
plain syntax highlighting).
So this might be an issue because this is exactly what Malaka is
supposed to do.
Currently he is investigating the integration of the new rendering
infrastructure into the Eclipse framework so that the output XDOM will
be the base for all the syntax highlighting, suggestions etc.
Malaka, could you please report the status of your investigation and
the problems you encountered?
Ok, then we will wait for his study of the parser. I just went over
the parser, and kind of understood it, but i could understand where we
could actually bring the two code to the same level, in other words,
integrate it, cause the basic functioning of the TextEditor is based
on set of 'Rules', quite unlike the parser.
I still have the feeling that you are both working on
the very same
project, with a big overlap (i.e., the "stuff" you mentioned before
that should be done by Malaka is exactly what you are working on).
Well, I'll be working on the following points:-
1. Content Outline. ( Partially done with revision 208).
2. Integrating present XEclipse code
3. Wikimodel integration as mentioned above
4. Advanced-rpc based content assist.
Now, since I've told about the respective portions we'll be
individually working on, I think there would not be any overlapping
again.
Venkatesh
I propose that Malaka continues to work on the
integration of the
rendering infrastructure as the source of structural information,
exchanging as much as possible on the list. If he succeeds this means
that your code will need to be refactored to conform to the new
architecture. If he doesn't then he will improve what you have been
doing. I don't see any other solution to reconcile your work with the
GSoC.
WDYT?
Cheers,
Fabio
