plugin development for idea

Wrong group?

This would require writing a Language API plug-in. You should see the Javascript
plugin source for help. It's not difficult, but it's not trivial. You will need
to write a parser for the C language, which will be the most work of any
component of the plugin. If you release this open-source I feel sure that you
will get help with it eventually, because C is a popular language.

Hi,

I'm looking for some small hints to implement a plugin for Idea. I have
seen and read the idea dev package, but I'm unfortunately short int
time. So I straight want to ask if anybody knows what components I have
to look at in the dev api to implement following plugin.

I have to do some coding with JNI in C and look for some structural
support for C files in the editor. The first help would be a structural
overview of methods and fields in the structure window and navigation.
as second would be some refactoring support, but I'm afraid this would
blast my time frame.

So every little hint is highly appreciated.

Thanks Keith, I will have a look at. I don't want to lean out too much,
but I think the parser is not very hard for me since I'm familiar with this.
