This page contains some coding conventions for the Groovy-Eclipse project.
Copying code from Eclipse and JDT
In general, we want to avoid copying code from JDT and Eclipse. Instead, the preferred way to extend or borrow Eclipse functionality is to use sub-classing and reflection. Where this approach is not possible or it is unwieldy, it may be reasonable to copy an entire file. Here are the guidelines for doing this:
- Add the copied file to the jdt_patch source folder in the plugin. (If this doesn't exist yet, then create it.)
- Change the package name by prefixing 'greclipse." to the package.
