Hey CSSDOC Team
tobias.mehre
my name is Tobias Mehre. I'm planning to develop an eclipse plugin
that enables cssdoc support in css files. I can't say how long it will
last
until the first release but in order to speed it up I want you to give
me
some information about requirements and features the plugin should
cover.
if someone liked to support me with this project, don't hesitate to
contact me.
I like the idea of cssdoc and i would like to join your team.
About me:
I'm 24 and i do my studies in Business Informatics at the University
of Applied Sciences
Ravensburg - Weingarten ( near Lake of Constance). I will graduate in
spring next year
and i've been developing websites / webapps since 2000.
Greetings
Tobi

thanks for joining us on the cssdoc effort.
Having cssdoc support in editors would be very nice. Something that I
would expect:
* DocBlock syntax highlighting
* Completion of the tags
* Folding of the DocBlocks
Nice to have:
* Index of the sections or a tree view of the file
* Validation of a css file
* Styleguide generation
Also there is already a newer draft version somewhere on Toms box. So
it would probably nice for you reading that before you start working
on the plugin :)
Cheers,
Timo

nice to hear that. You must have already got the current file in your
inbox. The features Timo named are what I would expect as well. As I
know other Eclipse based IDEs, I would say for an Eclipse Plugin the
following Features would be nice to have:
* DocBlock Support (incl. Folding)
* Tag Support (Suggestion of Tagnames)
* Outline based on @section, @subsection and @subsubsection Tags
* Problem reporting
* Todo Support with @todo tags
That's it for the Beginning. The more advanced things could be a
styleguide generation or a color-palette-tool based on the @colordef
specifications or whatever you can imagine.
A start might be the 2003/2004 project CSS Editor (Eclipse Plugin)
released under CPL:
http://csseditor.sourceforge.net/ But maybe this one is far timed-out
and incompatible with the current eclipse plugin interface. No Idea.
As you see, I am not so aware of the Eclipse internals, but I think
Eclipse has a subproject that has an Editor which is capable of CSS.
It would be great to see if your work can contribute to this Editor so
that most Eclipse based tools benefit from CSSDOC Features
automatically.
This CSS Editor might be in the WST, short for the eclipse web
standard tools subproject. It is located here:
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/main.php

Tom

yesterday i looked for information about developing eclipse plugins.
I think the best way to achieve our target is to extend WST's
CSSEditor
with CSSDoc features.
I'll talk to my professor, perhaps i'll get some support from him to
develop this plugin but it seems to be a lot easier as i thought
first.
Greetings,
Tobi
PS: please call me Tobi :-)
