I try to develop some additional functionality for eclipse pdt, as you can see
in my previous thread [1].
I have spent quite some time figuring out where to find the SSE autoedit
extension point. Fact is, it doesn exist as such, but digging around the
internet revealed there is a provisionalConfiguration with type
autoeditstrategy in org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration.
What bothers me is that I cannot find any docmentation about the extensibe
parts of org.eclipse.wst.sse. As I understood from my experimenations [1], the
documentation about pdt is incorrect and outdated. It took me a lot of time
figuring out the dependencies for the sample pdt extension implementation, as
the (granted, outdated) documentation does not mention them.
I am not experienced in eclipse plugin development, so I am inclined to
attribute my impression ("this is one giant ball of undocumented dependency
mudd") to my ignorance. How did you manage to master this complexity? I feel
both stupid and frustrated.
An other observation I had is that I can´t see clear boundaries. I see types
from wtp, dltk, jface.text etc mixed all over the place (not just in pdt, also
in wtp itself for example). Now, if I want to contribute functionality to pdt I
have to understand its dependencies too.
