I'd be real interested in starting to use / develop for the MC IDE, but don't want to have to switch between applications. Here are my thoughts on some future directions for discussion:<br><ol><li>Separate as many as possible MC IDE components out as standalone componenets that can be used in any Rev based environment. List those components that already can sit happily in other IDE's.</li>
<li>Develop a RevIde API - more than just the plugin API, one in which we can easily switch in and out Script Editors, Property Palettes and menus. Do this step by step, and encourage some sort of formalisation of this through discussions with other IDE providers.</li>
<li>Link the above in with Rev Interop</li></ol>I've a few hacks - that try to hook my tools into the RevIDE or GLX2 IDE's script editors, the MC IDE and others on the Rev list have their own Script Editors, so I thought that might be a good place to start = Script Editor Switcheroo API. That is a way to switch between different Script Editors, and to be able to define and add your own alterrnatives. I am not exacly sure what interop would be required for that - Richard posted a similar question regarding ROSE a year or so back - maybe some hooks to respond to the debugger?<br>
<br>What do you think?<br>
