I will collect some ideas for plugins that might be handy when developing UFO:AI stuff.

Plugins

• UFO Script Editor (ufo script and ump files)
  • UFO Script editor with basic syntax highlighing and outline is done http://mattn.ninex.info/screenshots/eclipse_script_editor.png Scripteditors/EMFText‎
  • started to work on a xtext based editor
• Model Viewer
  • md2 viewer basics are done - most of the models are not yet rendered corrctly though - http://mattn.ninex.info/screenshots/eclipse_md2_viewer.png
• GLSL Editor
  • glsl editors were forked to glshadereditor and must still be adpted to our needs
• Map compiler
• Tech tree editor
• Menu editor

xtext based editor

Prepare

• Install eclipse
• Install xtext 2.x (2.2.1) (Update site: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/)
• Import the net.sourceforge.ufoai.dsl* projects (3) into your workspace

Develop

• net.sourceforge.ufoai.dsl/src/UFOScript.xtext is the grammar file
  • right click - run as "generate xtext artifacts"
  • run the net.sourceforge.ufoai.dsl project as eclipse application.
    • import some ufoai ui scripts into your new workspace

General

The java classes in net.sourceforge.ufoai.dsl/src and net.sourceforge.ufoai.dsl.ui/src can get extended and won't get overwritten. You can implement a formatter, validator and stuff like that here.
