[Dynapyide-developer] Proposal for new take [ please reply ]

[<hv...@ya...>]

Seeing that we seem to have very little time to commit to the project =
hve made me ponder more seriously about whether we should should adapt =
another projects IDE and develop our tools to go in it.=20

The most promise looking alternatice seems to be jEdit. It is a full =
textbased IDe which is extendable and already have lots of extensions. =
aso got good documentation and even there are tutors on how to create =
extensions for it. It is also well established as an Open Source tool. =
Go explore for yourself at http://www.jedit.org and do visit the plugin =
central there to see what extensions there are.=20

jEdit also support a lot of scripting and programming languages - =
javascript and HTML included - and uses XML for syntax definitions.=20

As I see it we have several options to go around it. Here listing in =
order of ease of work required:=20

1) We devote to create an plugin suite for jEdit as is. I suggest we =
create dynapi syntax definition, a beans tray for dynapi2 snippets and =
widgets, a WYSIWYG editor extension and anything else we can come up =
with to go in our DynAPI2 suite for jEdit. This is the probably fastest =
way to get our work available as soon as possible.=20


2) We lock down to a current jEdit version and customize it as we think =
makes fit in much the same way as above only we also have the option to =
mixture with the code base to fit our IDE more. This however doesn't =
give us the same opion of ease of upgrading versions according to the =
jEdit version updates.=20

3) We chose and selects to use bits and pieces from jEdit and elsewhere. =
Many java applicaions adot to Sun's open framework (JavaBeans et all) =
that makes it easy to do it this way as well, though we would have to =
lcome to understand a lot of how this pieces works and works together =
ourselves, and that might be a chore.=20

4) We don't anticipate any of the above options and keep going as we are =
now, towards an all new application, (probably still using bits and =
pieces from elsewhere to some extent - especially Rhino)=20

it be interesting to get everybodies point of view in this issue and if =
you also would be so kind as to vote in this poll =
https://sourceforge.net/survey/survey.php?group_id=3D30194&survey_id=3D12=
106 (must be logged in to SourceFoge to reach it I think)=20
