Dash

The Dash project is still a proposal, but here are some words about it.

We've published our first experimental script over on our blog. We're also putting it here on the wiki:

--- Came wiffling through the eclipsey wood ---
/*
 * Menu: Find System.outs
 */

function main() {
  var files = resources.filesMatching(".*\\.java");
  var match;
  
  for each( file in files ) { 
    file.removeMyTasks(  );
    for each( line in file.lines ) {
      if (match = line.string.match(/System\.out\.print(ln)? *\(.*\)/)) {
         line.addMyTask( match[0] );
      }
    }
  }
  window.getActivePage().showView("org.eclipse.ui.views.TaskList");
}
--- And burbled as it ran! ---

The idea is to be able to publish and share these scripts easily.
