I want to write some plugin to analysis Java source code. Which part of eclipse’s plugin I have to know? I know this is a stupid question, but I really don’t know where I have to start and I don’t have too much time. I am not an actual programmer, I am a computer repair technician. So I just can write plugin (I love it) in spare time.
I am really grateful if someone give me a few pointers.
I didn’t mean to be snarky above. So, I’d first recommend getting to understand the Eclipse architecture, plugin model and APIs. Here is an old, but still relevant tutorial:
http://eclipsepluginsite.com/#
It doesn’t go into JDT at all, but does give you an idea about Eclipse plugins in general. So, once you understand that tutorial, you can move on to JDT:
