Eclipse Monkey has been released
March 3, 2006
From its Web page:
Eclipse Monkey is a dynamic scripting tool for the automation of routine programming tasks. Monkey scripts are little Javascript programs using either the Eclipse APIs or custom Monkey DOMs.
I downloaded it and installed it on Eclipse 3.1.1 and it is promising.
It seems inspired a lot by greasemonkey and I'd like to see what kind of scripts the Eclipse community will create.
A first script I'd really like to get is to transform code comments like //BUG 12345 into a clickable URL to our bug tracker.
A concrete example of what can be done with Eclipse Monkey is Wayne Beaton's Flickr script
