Technologies used in Edgar

The basic idea of implementing the program is this:

• Read a XML Schema defining the language
• Build a XML file based on this schema representing the parse tree of a compiler (using user interaction)
• Use stylesheets to get classic, linear source code (more than one for different indentation and syntac highlighting)

If this sounds like a generic schema based XML editor to you -- maybe it will be. I am still not sure about this but if I should realise that the program gets close to being one I'll probably switch to implementing the generic case. The first versions will avoid attributes, references and probably some other aspects of XML.

The first versions of the program should be directed on editing only methods -- the concept is probably not that useful for defining classes or similar. Maybe later it might be integrated into CASE tools like ArgoUML.
