I've been playing around with a crazy idea of recreating Eclipse JDT tooling with XText. While it does sound a fair bit more than a little crazy, it appeals to me for few reasons: It would give me great opportunity to learn XText and test it in a non-trivial setting. It would give me great opportunity to learn more about Java the language. Having Java source code parsed into a well defined EMF structure opens up JDT to all the goodness of EMF tooling that has been developed over these past years. It seems like an interesting idea. I wonder if I actually get around to giving it a try...
