Hi I am trying to write an editor which parses java text as user writes it
in.



However reparsing the whole text everytime the user gives any input is very
slow.



Is there a way of the parser/lexer to simply check what has changed and update
the AST.



Also when there in an error in the parsing, is there are away of getting
the incomplete AST.



Thanks for you help in advance.

Take a look at the SATC package:

You may need to register to the antlr group on Yahoo (and don't forget to put all the link on one line ;-).

Bogdan

This is called ""incremental parsing"". Look at the netbeans thread in antlr-interest@yahoogroups.com or the netbeans groups. I think they have a nice antlr way of doing this.
