Hi,
I humbly present my first steps toward an Clojure Eclipse plugin
(http://code.google.com/p/clojure-dev/). So far, here's where its at:
* Clojure nature, project type and builder (which doesn't do much
yet).
* Added a Clojure REPL to the console. You can open it with the "New
Console" button on the console view.
* When editing a *.clj file, you can run the current file, which will
get loaded into the REPL console.
The REPL console has direct access to the Eclipse runtime and should
be able to manipulate the workbench. That's right.. its an Eclipse
minibuffer!
Some background on clojure-dev... for some reason, I had to add a
Class.forName("clojure.lang.RT") in my Clojure OSGi bundle's start().
Otherwise I was not able to run Clojure within Equinox -- I believe it
was a Compiler.loadFile issue on the core Clojure files. I originally
tried basing my plugin on the DLTK without much luck -- the DLTK does
not seem very relevant to targeting the JVM, its more like something
you'd use for an out-of-process scripting language environment. I'm
going to go my own way and hook into the JDT where I have to. I'm
looking at CUSP, PyDev, and Scala SDT for inspiration.
My next steps are to focus on Clojure language support and better JDT
integration (classpath, etc.). Deployment and tooling is a big deal
to me, I think they're essential to being productive with the Java
platform -- even if the Clojure language is more productive, the Java
batteries included still require a lot of typing!
I know the Eclipse platform pretty well but from an Equinox & RCP
background. I'm new to IDE development, so this is quite a learning
experience!
Cheers,
Casey
