You'll notice that below I mentioned that the symbol popup & syntax
coloring for a file will use a separate parser (that parses the
file on idle) in the next version of Project Builder. However,
heavyweight information (like definitions and class/method
information) will come from indexing information gathered at build
time.
FYI, we haved looked at several other IDEs (including ObjectMaster)
while developing Project Builder.
