What sort of changes to WOLips are required in order to make a
standalone WOLipse Eclipse application with some sort of
communication mechanism that an IDEA plugin can use to talk to
WOLips for all the "WO project" management?
I just want to get a feel for how much work is involved before
attempting anything like that.
I guess I'm not sure what exactly you would be looking to integrate
with in WOLips ... The underlying woproject build code is totally ant-
based, so if you're just building apps, you can use that separately.
If you're looking to integrate with anything higher than that, It
would be kind of a tricky thing, I suspect. Eclipse has to have a
project setup with all of your files in it, configured properly, to be
able to do things like type manipulation and component validation. It
all depends on what exactly you're trying to do, but if you want my I-
have-no-real-idea-what-the-scope-of-your-project-idea-is response it
would be "this is going to be a huge pain in the butt". You're
basically trying to run two large complicated IDE's concurrently and
have them communicate together, etc.
That said, there is a new plugin in WOLips
(org.objectstyle.wolips.womodeler) that provides a tiny web server
that you can write request handlers for to do communication between
Eclipse and outside tools. Right now the only thing that uses it is
RuleModeler for telling Eclipse to refresh its project when the rule
model changes, as well as an upcoming Wonder framework for integrating
some developer components into your apps. But it at least provides
the basis for building more complicated interactions (similar to
Xcode's TCP/IP interface that it used to provide). I think you're in
for a serious uphill battle, though.
