Description sombriks CLA 2011-04-12 21:28:37 EDT 
hello there,

eclipse is by far the One IDE, and seed interpreter have a lot of potential on gnome platform.

would be nice if we could provide a js lib (like the browser runtime or rhino) to add autocomplete properties for seed imports.

a bit more about seed:

http://live.gnome.org/Seed
http://live.gnome.org/Seed/Tutorial (see the Gtk section... it's quite itersting)

any guidance about how to provide it is welcome.

Moving to JSDT project for consideration...
Comment 2 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2011-06-06 10:51:00 EDT 
The simplest way is to provide the JavaScript source of the runtime as a library, or if the runtime isn't implemented in JavaScript, non-runnable stubs that contain declarations of the types, variables, and functions with the desired documentation in JSDoc 1/2.
Comment 3 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2011-06-23 14:55:40 EDT 
With Seed being specific to the Gnome project, we won't be shipping a library for it in JSDT.  It's possible for someone else to create the necessary stubs/documentation and provide it as a separate plug-in through the existing mechanisms.
