Some time ago I wrote an Eclipse plugin which makes use of JDT to do some parsing. Now I am thinking of making a command-line version of this app. Naturally, I hope to reuse the parsing code, so I need to get JDT to work outside Eclipse. Is there any way I can accomplish this (maybe build some wrappers, etc)? Are there any ports of the JDT library that provide the same API / functionality but work independently of Eclipse?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The JDT is divided into two distinct parts. The parsing parts should all be in plugins which have no UI-dependencies at all. I think they do have a dependency on the Eclipse runtime, which means that you more or less need to create a “headless RCP application”.
