Hi,
LDT sounds really great and we are keeping an eye on the proposal.
But what is the link between the WTP SSE and LDT ?
The LDT proposal says :
"The LDT project proposes several areas of language development related to
the Java Development Toolkit (JDT), Structured Source Editor (SSE), XML
Schema Project (XSD), and other language-centric technologies within the
Eclipse family today."
"Shared Editing Infrastructure and Reified Language Modeling. Exploring
potential reuse among the JDT, CDT, and SSE editing frameworks and the
creation of a reified language model that can inform a generic (but
language aware) editing service. In addition to refactoring commonality,
the goal is to provide appropriate leverage to new languages that avoids a
"copy and paste" approach to their editing needs. This component will also
target reusable language-neutral infrastructure, such as frameworks for
dependency and work queue management."
I guess there will be strong interactions between WTP and LDT teams, one
might say some features would be contributed directly to SSE inside WTP,
and others would be incubated into LDT.
But, if you like, post your question to LDT newsgroup.
I have already read some Tim Wagner's posts in this newsgroup. Tim is
involved in BEA behind LDT, and is also the WTP lead.
So, I guess, you will have then a more precise answer to your question.
We are working on the new Axe version based on the SSE not on the LDT...
Well, LDT is still in the Eclipse pipeline...

I have just one question: are relationships between Lepido and LDT
planned ?
LDT proposal includes:
* XML-based Languages (XDSLs). Defining extensible semantic checking
infrastructure that enables XML-based DSLs (domain specific languages)
to be easily defined and rapidly turned into a high fidelity editing
experience. This includes exploring declarative extensions of XML Schema
as well as programmatic frameworks that extend basic XML analysis with
domain-specific semantics and customized editing operations
* Multi-language Debugging. Creating infrastructure for support
debugging of scripting languages and for defining cross-language
breakpoint and stepping operations in the context of a multilingual
stack frame.
* Etc.
See http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-ldt/main.html
So, a cooperation might be worthwhile. But, of course, LDT is still in a
infancy phase, so such cooperation is still very premature.
Any opinion on that ? Thxs.
