How to implement an eclipse plugin with autocomplete features

Question

I want to develop an eclipse plugin for launguage with auto-completion features.

But I don’t know where to start. Is there a textbook on this subject?

Do I need to develop a parser that first parses the code and / or other things?

Best wishes

Answer 1

I think you can find help here:

http://www.realsolve.co.uk/site/tech/jface-text.php he describes how to create an editor with syntax highlighting and autocompletion.

Answer 2

This is perhaps a good example to start with.
