Hi Colin, I almost thought you "despised the small beginngs" ;-). I must admit that getting to where I am now was far more effort than I thought. It still happens, it seems - after so many years. I have now reached a point where completion for all DML statements works fairly well (I hope). I have also created a SQuirrel plugin, which is based on the default entry panel (see doc/readme.html). This should be a better demonstration than the little program before. Of course, there are still lots of improvements to make. The "Table/Column Chooser" is a hack - maybe someone with more swing enthusiasm can give a hand here. It seems rather inefficient to load all tables into the list - maybe there should be a facility to narrow the selection before it is displayed. The completion itself needs to be tested. It can also be made yet more intelligent. DDL statements are not supported (but what would you want to complete there?). Once integrated with the JEdit plugin, syntax errors and invalid table/column names can be marked on the fly. My development progress will now be much slower for a while, because I have been called upon by a customer. This will keep me rather busy until the end of the year. If anyone has something to contribute - go ahead and let me know. BTW, I did not find any easy way to debug plugins from within my IDE. I ended up creating a "dummy" jar file with just the XxPlugin class inside, and keeping that in the appropriate directory for Squirrel to load. I could then debug the rest of the code as usual. Do you have any better suggestions? regards, Christian Colin Bell wrote: > Hi Christian, > > >>I have just uploaded my first presentable (I think) - yet experimental - >>version of the code completion engine to CVS.
