Can anyone share to me a complete sample project on creating problem markers for the java editor of eclipse.
I'm fairly new to java and I want to create an eclipse plugin that will detect custom coding problems. I've tried doing some research learned that I will need to use markers to accomplish this but I'm having trouble understanding the resources online.
I was hoping that I would understand this better if I have a working sample/project that I can play around with but I cant find one from my searches.
You definitely want to read the original Mark My Words article on eclipse.org. It's old, but not out of date.

I recently downloaded the Kotlin Koans, and notice that they are written/run within a JetBrains plugin which appears to be called Edu.
I was wondering if anybody knows if it is possible to create your own content for this plugin?
I think it would be useful in orientating new employees with our coding practices, create little courses for new frameworks we use, but most of all I thought it would be quite useful in the technical section of interviews, actually getting our interviewees writing code.
Apologies if this is an off topic question, or the answer is ask JetBrains. Just thought I would ask the community first.
You could take a look at the Kotlin-Koans-for-Edu repository on GitHub. The contents of a course seem to be defined by the course.json file.
It appears that courses can be installed as an IntelliJ IDEA plugin: see the Educational plugin for Kotlin GitHub repository for more information.
Good luck diving into this, it would be very nice if you could build upon the existing infrastructure!
I'm wondering if anyone is working on or using the Skeleton Framework (http://www.getskeleton.com) any more? The GitHub site does show a little activity from time to time but I'm wondering if there is a way for me to chat with people that know what's going on with it.
I've been using the framework at work one all of my recent projects and I want to get a little more involved with it's development.
Thanks
I'm currently using it to build my portfolio site. Haven't seen any recent changes to it but it does seem to be getting used quite a bit from what I've researched. I enjoy how it's bare bones, simple to use and ready to go with your own custom code. You have something you need help with?
I've seen this question in various guises around the place, but as yet haven't found a suitable answer. If this is a duplicate, appologies (I'd be surprised if it wasn't a duplicate!)
Basically, I have a project which is using (mostly) shell code and sql. I want to make sure all the files have a similar setup, and that I document things consistently. To this end, I want to have template files / skeleton code within Eclipse.
It seems easy enough with Java, but not other file types. I have checked out ShellEd and it didn't appear to have this feature (correct me if I'm wrong).
It would be great to be able to add this as a new file type, such that I can say File -> New -> sh/sql and have the correct basic template with the right header etc.
Also, if possible I would like to be able to, one click, add a function prototype with the correct documentation to my files...
I thought this would be easy enough, but a few days of Googling and messing about, it seems I need to write a plugin of my own... but I can't beleive that it's not possible, more likely my Google skills aren't up to scratch...
any help?
cheers
Rob
P.S I'm normally a Vi (not Vim) user, but have had Eclipse forced upon me!
For SQL the Data Tools Platform Extender SDK (DTP) Eclipse project contains a SQL editor with templates (under Database Development in Install New Software).
I have a question for you. My teacher proposed a couple of thesis to me. Basically to develop a plugin for eclipse. There are 2 options:
1)An editor for A-SPL language with syntax highlighting, auto completation of the cose, errors detection and so on........to help people that need to use S-APL
2)An editor to help people to design GUI in S-APL......something like a framework where you can drag widgets and there is a kind of automatic completation of the code....
The thesis should last 4 months......i should not implement everything but make a kind of prototype that maybe in the future someone will finish and make properly work.
I never did something like this so i would like to know if it is difficult, which skills are needed, which languages i should know to create eclipse plugins (for example i know java and python) and so on......to figure out if it is something i can do.
I'd suggest to look into the Xtext (for a textual editor) and Graphiti (for a graphical editor) projects.
You'll need Java for Eclipse plugins.
You need to read a book / the eclipse plugin wiki about Eclipse architecture as it's critical to know the paradigms in use.
There's an example XML plugin editor that you can create from the 'New Plugin' wizard which would be a good starting point for the first option.
good luck. :)
As every programmer knows tools are important and there is no tool more important for a developer than the IDE you use to code. In the last few years the IDE-s fall into standards and it is not common to see innovation in this area. What IDE-s you can recommend as innovative and what new ideas and paradigms they introduced?
This is by far the coolest set of coding tools yet!

I haven't used this but saw the demo video yesterday. The IDE is called code bubbles and has a unique way of showing and grouping related code together.
That said I find the intellitrace feature in Visual Studio 2010 quite innovative.
Palm's Project Ares: http://ares.palm.com/Ares/about.html
It's the IDE for the Palm webOS phones, that runs entirely as a web app. You build and run your app inside the browser, and when you're done, you deploy straight to the cloud.
I'd put my bet on Meta Programming System by Jetbrains. The concept is not new but it's the first time it has been implemented on such a huge scale with great IDE support. You create a DSL first, then write programs in that DSL and finally generate code in a target language.
I'll go for Scratch, though I wouldn't want to write a banking system using it :-)
Some cool videos of structured editor prototype that will let you directly code the AST.
This is a prototype only and I have no idea if it is still being developed.
One interesting IDE I have seen only on video is Code Bubbles. It opens code snippets as a graph of visual "bubbles". It is really interesting and definitely something I want to try.
