Hi All,

Does anyone know how to do on-the-fly parsing in IDEs ? That is
parsing a program say java, when it is being typed . This kind of
parsing can be used for things like code completion, error
highlighting when being typed etc.
I have some experience with using an automatic parser generator tool
(javacc/jjtree ) which can parse a program in a given language and
build ASTs too. I would like to know how to plug this into an IDE for
on-the-fly parsing.

Thanks in advance
