XOTcl Support Plan
(February 14th, 2007)
XOTcl support for DLTK TCL IDE will require some features to be implemented in the DLTK Core Framework. Plan items follow.
DLTK Core Items
- Type hierarchies. DLTK should provide implementation of Type hierarchy and Quick type hierarchy views.
- Search Engine improvements. DLTK Search engine should provide search support for: implementors, superclass's, constructors and read/write access of variables.
DLTK TCL Items
- XOTcl-related UI. TCL IDE should provide following UI features: wizards (New Class, New Method, etc).
- Search Engine improvements. TCL IDE should provide search for XOTcl classes, methods, and fields.
- Debugging. TCL debugger should provide support for XOTcl objects in TCL debugger.
- Content assistance. TCL IDE should provide full content assistance support for XOTcl classes and objects.
- Type hierarchies. TCL IDE should extend core type hierarchies model to support XOTcl type hierarchies.
- Documentation. TCL IDE should provide documentation for XOTcl classes, methods, and fields.
- XOTcl class browsing. DLTK TCL should provide XOTcl browsing perspective with set of views displaying XOTcl OO elements.
