This jEdit plugin provides a SideKick parser for the CoffeeScript language.

The SideKick tree represents (most) classes and functions according to their position in the source code. In Cakefiles, tasks will also be added to the tree. Errors encountered while parsing will be forwarded to ErrorList.

This plugin uses a modified version of CoffeeScript which runs inside the Rhino JavaScript engine.

The latest released version can be installed with the jEdit Plugin Manager.

The actual parser and tree builder is written in CoffeeScript. Callbacks to jEdit and plugin specific functionality are implemented in Java.

A full build, therefore, consists of two steps: Compilation of the CoffeeScript source to JavaScript with cake (which runs the Cakefile) followed by the usual jEdit plugin build process, defined in build.xml. To ease the build process, a prebuild CoffeeScriptParser.js is already included.

• jEdit plugin building environment
• jEdit plugins: ErrorList, SideKick and Rhino
• Node.js - required to execute the Cakefile
• Jison - JavaScript Parser Generator (installable with npm)

CoffeeScript is included as a git submodule. Either clone this project recursivly:

git clone --recursive git://github.com/marchaefner/jedit-CoffeeScriptSideKick.git

or update the submodule after cloning:

git submodule update --init
