http://cedet.sourceforge.net/addlang.shtml does say:
You can also pull in an external tool like Exuberant CTags to parse
your files. This can be handy to bootstrap support for your language.
External parsing tools often have issues where the actual extents of
the TAG in your buffer is unknown. They also have problems in that
the buffer must be saved before they can work.
(NetBeans avoids the unsaved-buffers problems by giving the compiler
access to the buffer. That is easier when they're in the same
Java process, but otherwise sockets or temporary files could be used.)
Regardless, better tool support for Kawa would be very nice.
I think it would be better someone other than me do the
heavy lifting. However, if that someone needs extra support
from Kawa (like a symbol table dumper) I'll be happy to help.
I also very interested in helping if someone wants to
warn on NetBeans integration - that would probably
help more people.
