View source for Eclipse plugin for SX assembly language

[[Image:Syntax hl eclipse sx cropped.PNG|right]]
==Reasons to create another SX-ide==
* I'm planning a move from Windows to Linux and want to keep on writing SX assembly programs
* Being used to high-level language IDEs, I very much miss some features in SXKey, like overview windows, bookmarks, being able to paste into the find-dialog, etc.
* I'm new to both Java and Eclipse, so I thought creating an eclipse-plugin would be a nice challenge&hellip;

==Status==
*'''After Installing the latest Eclipse version (Europe), my plugin does not run anymore. Neither does it allow me to debug in any useful way'''
* Syntax highlighting finished
* Outline partially done
#need to implement update-as-you-type (reconciler). Currently the outline is only created when you load the file, which is of limited use&hellip;
#<strike>recognize local labels</strike>
#<strike>separate jump, macro, and EQU-labels</strike>
* Content assist: still deciding whether it's needed. Would be cool though...
* tool chain: see [[sx assembler]]
** Somebody is/was working on a tool chain, see [http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=4&m=116410 this thread] on the parallax SX forum
** [http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&m=124210 this] anouncement of an open source SX28 emulator  would be relevant as well.
* I still have to figure out how to wrap this into a nice distributable package.
