Hello Peter, As I understand, you've made what I also began to make for clojuredev (clojure dev environment for eclipse me and other folks are working on on our spare time) : a static source code parser. Mine is currently not very tested (and maybe not very usefull as is, because it has not yet be faced to real-world problem).
Do you think it could be possible to reuse your parser for the needs of clojuredev , or is it too tied to the intelliJ framework/ infrastructure ?
