[Mono-list] C# plugin for eclipse

[Erik Dasque]

Well, Andrew, hold on. Let's hold our horses.

(Aurelien, I am the person who talked to St=E8ve about the plugin)

Before auto-complete (which needs deep integration with Mono),=20
refactoring and any kind of designer, there are basic requirements we=20
can ignore and have to prioritize IMHO.

1) Work with Eclipse 3.x (which right now means 3.0RC2)
2) Do syntax coloring for C# 1.0 (ECMA #334) and possibly 2.0=20
(including generics and anonymous methods)
3) Compile using mcs (Mono C# compiler), integrate compiler errors, run=20=

applications with mono
4) Work on Linux/MacOS/Windows

I think that's the basic features we need.

After that, we can think of different wizards to create C# classes,=20
include pr2make and different project imports, iKVM integration.

intellisense/autocompletion is of course big but requires some=20
introspection into the project and mono assemblies which is tougher to=20=

do with Eclipse that it is with monodevelop (which runs within a mono=20
vm) and 1-4 should be done before it is attempted.

Aurelien I can work with you if you need clarification on any of this.

What do we think ?
