Syntax Highlighting Editor for Stratego in Eclipse

In an attempt at returning to normalcy after over a week of nothing but frantic documentation writing (in the form of an article), I have spent this week looking at module systems, modularization techniques and known methods for exposing variation points in these.

Apart from reading papers, I decided to experiment with extending frameworks, and I also had another itch to scratch. The result is a very rudimentary syntax highlighting text editor plugin for Eclipse, for the Stratego language.

For now, I've put it up on the temporary front page of spoofax.org, and I even provided a screenshot.

If you run Eclipse 3.0 or newer, you can download and install it using the Update Manager, as usual.

A lot of things are still missing, the most important (to me) of which are: context assist for strategies, rules, variables and constructors; outlining of strategy and rule definitions; a sensible indentation strategy; and semantic highlighting of variables in rule conditions and strategy expressions.
