I downloaded some D code from the mango project... started looking at it with eclipseD... wow.. 0.1.1 sucked. I've GREATLY improved the outline method detection, and changed the behavior to update the outline whenever the file is saved... (as opposed to each time a character is typed, which is actually really cool with a small document, and a fast computer.) I don't particularly like this behavior, but I can't think of any better time to do it (that doesn't require a lot of coding.) Anybody got any bright ideas?

I've also added some preferences. The syntax highlighting colors are all customizable, and you can select whether or not to display line numbers.

I think I've decided that I'd like to run the D stuff the same direction as Eclipse's Java stuff. That is to say full management. Eclipse will directly invoke DMD and compile the source each time it's saved, and highlight errors. The full source will also be modeled in objects (this is partially done already), making things like code completion, and automatic imports easy.

It's a lot of work, so if anyone wants to lend a hand, please let me know! I could still use a little icon.

As always, stay tuned kiddies!

Forgot to mention: don't forget to delete the OLD eclipseD plugin directory before extracting the new one. They extract to different folders.

May be outline detection must run in another thread? It is a "lazy" detection way.

P.S. Great work, guys. I use Eclipse and very interested in this plugin. Good luck!

This is a great plugin for eclipse (normally I use Anjuta actually.. but this has shown me a very good reason to change to eclipse).

I found a small bug (you probably know about it anyway.. cause its not really a bug.. just a feature)

it just doesn't like \" much.. it should ignore those, but it doesn't.. like:

switch (commands[currIndex]) {
case '\"':

And that unfortunately makes eclipse think the whole thing is a string, which is annoying.. at the moment though I just do //" at the end of that line.. which minimises annoyance..

Great job though..

Bug's fixed. It's in the SVN repository, if you want to download and compile it. If not, it'll be fixed in the next release, which should be soon. Really soon.

If only the bigger companies fixed their software this quickly

Thanks for the quick response

Well it's not like I'm innudated with bug reports to fix... just damn good code I guess ... Actually, I think it's just a severe lack of a user base
