I have a mini-compiler written using flex, bison, and C++.I want to use it in eclipse
like using java compiler, but I don't know anything how to do that, so I want some help and some advice.
Thanks
"Create a commercial-quality Eclipse IDE" could be helpful.
If your goal is to have a full-up integration (error highlights, code assist, etc) you have a really big job ahead of you. Start by reading the JDT and C++ implementations.
If you want to edit in a plain editor and just trigger a build, the cheap solution is to make an ant build script that can do the job. However, any command-line can be run as an external builder.

I use Eclipse for my day-to-day development in ColdFusion, using the CFEclipse plugin. Since a lot of development now starts with Bootstrap, I'd like to use insight (Proposals I think they're called in Eclipse) in the interface so I don't have to type in the same classes all the time. Any idea where to start? I looked into the dictionary XML files for the CFEclipse plugin, but that seems like overkill. I just want to make a list of classnames that the editor can append from when I'm coding.
Thanks.
Within Selenium IDE for Firefox, under Options -> C# / NUnit / Webdriver, there is a button 'Source' to view the conversion formatter.
It is displayed in read-only format.
Is it possible to get access to this file in order to customise the export process?
Sorry if this seems like a trivial question, I've found plenty of people complaining about not being able to perform various tasks online and a few responses that indicate that custom export is supported, but I can't seem to find a way to access the file to perform the work.
Thanks
I think I found a solution to this problem.
Though you can't customize any of the built in exports, like C# / NUnit / Webdriver, you can create a completely new exporter. I'd recommend modifying an excising one.
Get the source exporter you would like to modify. Ex Options->Options->Formats->C#/NUnit/Webdriver->Source. And copy it to a text editor.
Edit this code.
Options->Options->Formats->Add(button) and paste your new exporter.
I think you have to copy and paste the text, there is not file upload.
This worked for Selenium IDE 2.5.0
Hope this helps!
EDIT: In addition to my answer above, it may be easier to just write your own parser for the Source of your IDE Test.
The source is read-only because it has been provided by a Selenium IDE Plugin.
The source is usually helpful if you want to make a very simple formatter. Usually a better way is to create your own customised version of the formatter and package it in a plugin. Take a look at the source itself and the plugin tutorial at http://docs.seleniumhq.org/projects/ide/plugins.jsp
You can find some more information and slides about Selenium IDE plugins on my blog.

Groovy seems to fix a lot of the things I dislike about Java, and I was wondering if it would be possible to actually write an Eclipse plugin in Groovy instead of Java.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how to go about it?
I've just found a blog entry which says it's not officially supported but is actually possible.
Not yet tested to see if it works, but it seems promising:
Writing Eclipse plugins with Groovy, by Jörn Dinkla
#Peter, I do not think that the blog post you linked to is complete or if it will really work. It is pointing to the old version of Groovy-Eclipse, which is no longer supported and is out of date.
Yes. It is possible to create your own plugins in Groovy.
First, install the Groovy-Eclipse plugin from here:
http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/greclipse/snapshot/e3.7/
Then you can create a new plugin project and add the Groovy Nature.
Remove the Groovy Libraries classpath container
Instead, add the org.codehause.groovy as a required bundle
Create your Groovy code as normal
Now, the tricky part is exporting the plugin using PDE. See this blog post for how to do that: http://contraptionsforprogramming.blogspot.com/2010/08/groovy-pde-redux.html
One important thing to note is that you will need at least one Java file in your project for PDE to compile anything, It can be a dummy, empty file (this is a bug that has not yet been fixed).
Rejoice!
As an example, here is the codenarc Eclipse plugin that was written completely in Groovy:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/codenarceclipse/
You can also use JRuby, or Javascript ...
JAM Circle is a great example showing how to make great use of a scripting language in an Eclipse plugin, by allowing the end user to write his own actions and load them at runtime.
There's a proxy-like plugin that allows you to implement the plugin virtually in any language that supports JSR223 (javax.scripting)
When I set up an Ant script to run as an Ant builder in an Eclipse project, the only options I have for handling the output are to:
show it in Console view
capture it in a file
Is there any way to tell Eclipse how to parse the output and add entries to the Problems view accordingly?
I don't think you are going to find a solution, but if you do it would have to be a third-party plugin implementing a replacement Ant Builder. As you've discovered, Eclipse Ant build integration doesn't support this.
You may also want to consider opening an enhancement request at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform site. While there is no guarantee that someone will step up to implement this feature, you never can tell.
I'm trying to use Google Protocol Buffers in my project and I'd like to have some tooling support from Eclipse. In particular, I want Eclipse to call protoc every time I make changes to the .proto files and then rebuild all code that depends on the generated code.
I tried to set up a Custom Builder but it keeps bugging me with errors I don't understand, most often it complains that the .proto file is not on the path given by --proto-path, which it should be by all I can tell. Also, because I use ${build_files}, Eclipse passes all changed files to the compiler (instead of those that I have configured to trigger the build).
NetBeans seems to have a protobuf-Plugin, but I can't find one for Eclipse. Is there one?
Theres a protoclipse plugin on googlecode, which is in the initial stages:
http://code.google.com/p/protoclipse/
Not sure if there is a builder, but I did find a plugin for syntax highlighting for protocol buffers.
You can define an external builder on the plugin that invokes an ant task. It is an ugly kludge, but until there is a better solution this may serve your purposes.
In practice, syntax highlighting turned out to not be that important, I hardly edit these files, and they tend to be very small. Maven and the m2eclipse plugin handle the building side of things great.
I recommend using Google's "Protocol Buffers Development Tools". It is a plugin for Eclipse that features automagic regeneration and error checking, among other things. It's available here: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-dt/ .
While this question is close to other Eclipse plugin for working with protobuf, answers here are different.
Well, yes, if you use maven/gradle to invoke protoc (Protobuf compiler), than you may need no Eclipse plugin at all.
Colorizing editor helps for long file or with many comments. Know there are 2 editor plugins for Eclipse.
