Re: Continue Eclipse Freemarker DLTK?

Hi Greg,

Please to meet you:)

I'm happy that my very old work could interest people. At first you can
read my odt
https://freemarker.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freemarker/sandbox/org.eclipse.dltk.freemarker/docs/
which
shows you features of the DLTK Freemarker (debug, preview, etc). I think
it's a first step to have a very powerful Freemarker Plugins but it's very
basic for the moment (there are a lot of work to obtain the same features
then JBoss Freemarker IDE).

DLTK provides a lot of features like debugger and I think it can manage
refactoring (never tested). I'm waiting for the answer of Daniel, but I
could create a GitHub project in order to you can test and play with DLTK
Freemarker. The big problem is that DBGP Debugger is based on FM 3.0.0, but
I think it should be easy to switch to FM 2.x.

Debugger API should be modified.

I will be very glad to work together.

Regards Angelo
