Plan for Robert Rice
by Robert Rice · 11/18/2004 (4:29 am) · 5 comments
This is my first .plan so bear with me, but I figured in posting it, I would be better motivated to actually do something.
I don't know how many of you out there use the Eclipse IDE for your Torque developement, but I use it all the time. I am a business programmer (Java) in my day job, so we use Eclipse almost exclusively. There are currently a few really good stand alone programs in this community for editing Torque Scripts, but I really like consolidation, so I want to write up a script editor plugin for Eclipse. This way I can edit code and scripts through the same software. I intend to include the standard functionality inherit in Eclipse editor plugins: highlighting, code assist, and and outline view for ease of navigation through the document. If anyone else has any other ideas/request, I would be more than happy to consider them. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip on the JavaScript editor reference, Frank! I will be looking that up (unless you have the link for it, hint, hint...) Out of curiosity, why have you not posted it as a resource?

I can post it but I'm waiting to have a bunch of plugins to put all of them as a global resources (script, debugger, mp3/ogg/wav player, image viewer, ...)

This is just what I'm looking for! Has there been any progress?

There has been *some* progress, but Real Life has interrupted and work has been hectic. I am hoping to get working on it again very shortly.
