(I am sure that there 5-10 more attempts to solve the problem) > I've working on smart editors as part of our JavaFX Text-Editor research. I showed our latest status at the Eclipse Demo camps. I fully understand that you want something SWT based but most of the stuff is not bound to JavaFX. See http://tomsondev.bestsolution.at/2015/07/08/eclipse-democamp-season-javafx-smart-code-editors-eg-for-google-dart/ for some slides and a video recording. For the next e(fx)clipse release (2.1.0) we plan to make stuff even more loosely coupled and maybe we come up with generic service interfaces to get auto-complete, syntax highlighting (I currently only target lexical highlighting), error-reporting and outline. BTW: The Dart editor developed in the video does what you propose. It simply connects to the dart-analysis-server to get informations for auto-complete and errors. We have something very similar for * Java where we have auto-complete, error-reporting and outline and * JavaScript where we currently only have outline support (provided through the Nashorn AST-"API"), attaching Tern is one option to get auto-complete but there might be others as well. Very high on my personal list for languages to support are: * Swift * TypeScript * Go * Rust Tom -- Thomas Schindl, CTO BestSolution.at EDV Systemhaus GmbH Eduard-Bodem-Gasse 5-7, A-6020 Innsbruck http://www.bestsolution.at/ Reg.
