Subject: ppi enhancements for use as eclipse editor parser
hello - i am interested in using PPI as the underlying parser implementation for an eclipse plugin that i am working on. my previous attempts at contact through email have gone unanswered, and i though i would try this route given the recent activity on the project. i have a basic implementation working, but i am noticing some performance issues with large/complex files (Twig.pm for example, takes 5-6 seconds to process). i also had to make some modifications to the PPI source to make my life slightly easier (calculating document offsets when indexing locations). i output the pdom document as xml that i am deserializing into classes on the eclipse side that will represent the document. i wanted to contact you to start a dialog and perhaps pick your brain and discuss what may and may not be possible to accomplish using PPI as the underlying parser.

Have you looked at http://e-p-i-c.sourceforge.net/ yet? That's the leading Perl plugin for Eclipse. I don't think they use PPI, but they;ve already built a ton of Perl-specific features for Eclipse. It would be VERY useful if you were to try to incorporate your work into the groundwork they have already laid. I think what you're going to want to do to help performance is to parse just fragments of documents at a time instead of whole documents.

Email me directly at adamk@cpan.org... I'm not sure why your email there wouldn't be getting through... As for using PPI in Eclipse, speed will be the biggy, it's relatively slow, and not really suitable for real-time processing.

the project i am working for leverages the dynamic languages toolkit that is being developed by eclipse (i am also a committer on the project). i am in need of an editor that supports the dbgp protocol for debugging and i am not interested in using komodo. the e-p-i-c plugin wouldn't be able to provide this functionality w/o some serious re-work, and last time i checked, the current maintainer wasn't interested.

Got it, I see. I've never delved into the EPIC source code, so I didn't know what it was using on the inside. I already use Eclipse for Java, Groovy and C++, so any improvements to the Perl support would be VERY welcome. I lack time to help with coding, but let me know if you need help testing. If you get far enough along, I'd be willing to help with Perl::Critic integration. Chris

This is old, and big performance improvements on PPI were released recently, so i am closing this. Feel free to poke us on github for any further changes you'd like to see. I promise we'll react faster this time. :)
