Soplet Eclipse Plugin

The Soplet Eclipse Plugin is an open-source project meant to enable extended Soplet-based development with the Eclipse platform.

***THE PLUGIN IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS AND WILL BE RELEASED SOON***



The Soplet Eclipse Plugin will enable the following features:

1.) Byte-code generation


The Soplet Eclipse Plugin allows the creation of byte-code during development time. This feature allows you to save a lot of time on creating and maintaining redundant boilerplate code.


2.) Soplet Syntax Rule checker


The Soplet Syntax Rule checker validates the rules as defined in the Soplet Syntax Rules chapter. Should one of these rules be violated, then a compile-error is generated and shown in the Eclipse error view.

3.) Soplet Utilities

Improved Soplet formatting with line-breaking and proper indenting:

Camel case enum constants

The Soplet plugin disables the Eclipse built-in warning when creating an enum constant, which is not all UPPERCASE. (Soplets favor the use of camelCase name formatting for better readability).
