This page is the central page for all planning and design associated with adding Java language support to PIDA.

Requirements

In order of priority, they are:

First Priority

• Tree view of file system/packages
  • This is currently the biggest sore point when using PIDA as a Java IDE, well at least for someone who's used to doing java development in vim
• Syntax Highlighting -> editor components (vim provides this)
• Active code error detection -> validator
• Code Browsing
  • outliner
  • Could be supported by code browsing
  • (Hyperlinking method/class/variables to definitions)
    • needs a new concept for editors, might not work for vim
• Test runner
  • TestNG
  • is simply streaming in junit xml output reasonable?
• Tree view of classes/methods -> again outliner
• build tool integration
  1. maven
  2. ant

Second Priority

• JDB integration -> debugger service
• Import completion
• Maven integration
  • dependency management
  • configuration
