Re: [Dynapyide-developer] Just an update.

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

I've already been looking into Jedit a lot, and also
looking into Jext and other Open Source editors to use
as a base for our development. Jedit has probably been
the strongest candidate, although, like you noticed
Jext have implemented Rhino, and would therefor also
have its advantages. 

However, I've found the documentation and support for
Jedit to be stronger and wider spread. And if you feel
its a good base, I'm all with you to go ahead and use
it as sugested.

I'm not sure we could do it just as a plugin, I think
we would need to do it as a own distribution with a
lot of the original Jedit core as our base (maybe so
much, it can be fully-compable with Jedit original
distribution and upgraded along-side the Jedit
development). But for a start we could aim to do
plugins, but eventually I think we'd have so many
special plugins it should be considered a new
distribution. We'll see...

I've found this independent guide/essay on doing a
plugin for jedit, that might be of some help:

http://www.generationjava.com/projects/JEdit.shtml

Jedit is a part of the Giant Java Tree project, so you
might also want to check out http://www.gjt.org

Dan Steinman, the originator of DynAPI have been
contributing his begun WYSIWYG dynlayer editor code to
this project. 
If your still monitoring this list Dan: Do you have an
update or could you please submit your code pieces
again?
