I'm playing around with the idea create Eclipe plugin for Velocity or JSP
development. I'd like this go beyond the typical color syntax to have statement
completion and debugging support. I'm leaning towards JSP, because I don't think
Velocity currently would support this without using the Tools. I don't think
Velocity can support debugging in its current state. It is my understanding this
is one of the reason why Tea is complied.
The basic idea is that , if you had a Velocity code like this
#foreach($user in $users)
Here is my $user.name
#end
You would be able to put a break point on #foreach step into the code. You'd be
also able to look at the value of $user and $users in the debugger. The problem I
have without using the Tool project. I don't see how the IDE would know what your
context was. I'd like to see what the Velocity folks think about this. I figure
this was intresting topic you guys might have some thoughts on this. Do you think
it is doable? Do you have suggestion to articles, books or stuff I should look at?
My rough idea is to first do a rich client for Roller, then build on that work.
