[Pydev-code] Ported to 3.0 - it was bloody...

[Aleks T. <a...@to...>]

Hi,
I've just finished porting pydev to Eclipse 3.0. The changes have 
been checked in. Unfortunately, I had to cut some of your stuff 
out to make it happen, hope you can put the code back in soon:

1) Parhaum's test:
- the tests Java files were in the same directory tree as the 
plugin. I do not like having the test files in the same tree, as 
I do not want to ship them when plugin is built. I've moved them 
all into docs/tests.

I am not a big fan of indiscriminate testing. Writing a proper 
testing harness is hard, and requires maintenance. And for me, it 
is no fun. So I do not write them. There is a smoke test suite I 
run through before the release, and that's it.

So, Parhaum, if you'd like to include the tests in the project, 
please keep them separate from the main code line. I have an 
org.python.pydev.test project where I keep my smoke tests, it 
might be a good place for your test cases too.

2) Code completion by Dana:
- Here I ran into a library loading problem. pydev uses and 
compiles jython's parser internally for syntax highlights & 
outline. org.pydev.jython/jython.jar included some of the same 
classes, but they were different versions. In 2.0, the class 
loader did what we wanted. In 3.0, the class loader has changed, 
and pydev editor was getting NoSuchMethod exceptions because it 
was getting PythonGrammar out of jython.jar. So I removed 
jython.jar from the classpath to get things going again. This 
also meant that completion processor was turned off.

How do we solve this one? There is no simple solution. I've 
submitted my changes to Jython, and they've been accepted. Maybe 
you can check out the pydev compatible jython tree, and check 
that in instead, and remove our jython parser port from the editor?

I've also fixed "Open External File" command. Files outside of 
workspace can be opened, but not edited. Getting editing to work 
was just too much coding, nice hobby project for someone for the 
weekend.

Porting was a little annoying as Eclipse's programming usually 
is. Main changes involved moving the Plugin classes to the new 
Bundle standard.

I'd like to ship this early next week. Dana, do you have an ETA 
on your changes?
