Project Declaration for "Dynamic Languages Toolkit"
Dynamic Languages Toolkit project goal will be to
develop framework for
tool vendors, researchers, and end-users who rely on dynamic languages
(like PHP, Python, and Perl).
The toolkit will support of editing, code navigation, debugging, and
refactoring of code in dynamic languages and
must be an extensible such that new languages such as Tcl or Ruby could
be plugged in easily.
Also project will explore potential reuse among other Eclipse
language projects and result in recommendations/code to push down to
LTK
(in addition to ltk.refactoring).
