Dreamweaver Extension?

[Christopher Parker]

Are there any plans to develop a Dreamweaver extension for EditorConfig?

I don't use Dreamweaver myself, but several of my front-end developer coworkers swear by it. It would be beneficial for them to be covered with EditorConfig like the rest of us, who use a combination of Visual Studio, Eclipse/Aptana, Notepad++, and Sublime Text 2.

Hi Christopher,

I understand your concern. EditorConfig hasn't covered all editors/IDEs
(even popular ones including Eclipse and Dreamweaver as you said). Same
as you, we also want to try to cover all of them.

Sadly, none of current active developers of EditorConfig is familiar
with the plugin system of Eclipse, Aptana, Dreamweaver or Brackets, or
has the time to research on the plugin systems. We do appreciate your
involvement if anyone can handle any of these systems!


Thanks,
Hong

There are C, Java, and Python libraries for locating/parsing/handling .editorconfig files.  Dreamweaver's extension system requires a C-based plugin I believe.  Eclipse's plugin system requires the Java library.

Therefore the only things that would be required for a plugin to be made:

1. Research which Dreamweaver plugin system features can be used to change the appropriate settings based on .editorconfig properties

2. Write code to use the C library to spit out the .editorconfig options for the current file and then change the settings accordingly

I don't have the will-power to undertake this task.  I will cheer on anyone who makes a plugin and help support them if I can.

If you know developers in need of a plugin that lack the skills/will-power to make one I suggest they setup an open source bounty and pitch in a small amount of money.  If enough money is pitched in maybe a knowledgeable Dreamweaver plugin developer will accept the bounty and make the plugin happen.

We used gun.io to kick start the TextMate plugin development initially.  Here are a few open source bounty sites I've seen mentioned before:
