Just making a note of the new axdt plugin which uses xtext for its as3
editor. The soon to be released plugin web site is here:
http://new.axdt.org/
It seems considerable time has been spent getting it to work, Helios+xtext
1.0 required.
Editor source code with grammar file here:
http://new.axdt.org/browser/as3/as3-runtime/src/main/java/org/axdt/as3
It should certainly provide some inspiration...
Here some other code completion enhancements:
If you press Ctrl+Space within a method, you should get codecompletion
entries for class members (like in 'this.'), static class members (like
in 'ClassName.'), available classes (for later accessing of static members).
Support for code templates. i.E. New Method/Type Template in class body.
Two more:
Display HaxeDoc on CodeCompletion.
If you hover variables, method calls, class names etc. you should get the
declaration and HaxeDoc in a tooltip. (type information)
support for Code templates would be a very welcome addition
