JavaScript plugin

[Niko Sams]

wow, that's a long list!
I would be very interested in having basically all points you metioned.

I would suggest you start in small steps and start sending patches to
reviewboard.
If you have any questions just ask here :D

regarding JS support: don't implement your own parser. Aleix started a
QML plugin with
also javascript support.
You'll find it here: scratch/apol/kdev-qmljs.git
it reuses the QtCreator parser (local copy) from which we can get the
AST direclty.
So that's probably the easiest way to go.

cheers,
Niko
