Re: [DotGNU] IDE for dotnet on linux

[Radek Polak]

Hello,
you probably know that i am working on Portable Studio, which is IDE for 
Portable .NET. I have got many ideas and lot of work done. Here is quick 
overview, what is done:

* support for Makefile, csant or any other build tool. This can be done, 
because Portable Studio works directly with C# compiler (cscc). Project 
in Portable Studio is "what have you just compiled". E.g. if you type 
cscc foo.cs, compiler after compilation connects to Portable Studio and 
project with one file (simple.cs) is loaded. If you want e.g. 
System.Windows.Forms project, just type make in pnet's winforms 
directory. Note: to make this work you need patched version of cscc 
compiler.
* project browser, that can display compiled source files, classes and 
their members.
* souce editor - taken from Xacc project, thanks leppie ;)
* source code navigation - when you double click class or member in code 
browser, source edior opens and jumps to class/member definiton.

I am planning:

* jump to definition context menu in source editor
* code completion
* more langugages (java, c)
* simple debugging

The first results look quite promising to me, but there are some really 
hard thing to be done, before Portable Studio is usefull - e.g. 
incremental compilation (so that parse tree is always fresh), double 
buffering in source editor (can that be done in pnet now???) etc, etc...

I hope that "the worst think on dotnet for linux" wont be true soon ;-)
