swing - Create an eclipse-like IDE in Java -


i trying come custom-made ide suit needs. tried swing libraries create gui doesn't good, plus haven't figured out how show project explorer, watch window, etc.

can please guide me how create own ide in java? should use swt or swing framework?

thanks

you requirements loose. can go swing, netbeans platform, eclipse platform, swt. in cases, in ide expect:

  1. eclipse-like layouts supports. e.g. number of "views" , "editors" user can resize/rearrange - , changes stored between restarts.
  2. project management functionality? create project/files, track changes in files, build, manage metadata. version control support must.
  3. have specialized source editor code assist, validations (e.g. compiler errors), shortcuts, etc.

if need of - should read eclipse plugins development. if need (1) may want check eclipse rcp documentation. if don't need may use swing or swt, it's more of matter of taste.
