[gedit-list] Code folding

["Noe Nieto" <tzicatl gmail com>]

Hi everybody on this list.

I'm developing applications with Java for cellphones (J2ME). I normally used Eclipse for coding and was happy until I was forced to move to Netbeans: After that I realized the power of Java ... to freeze your computer with unallocated memory....

So I'm considering to keep developing with an stand alone editor like gedit (wich in 2.14 is awesome!!!).

Before I make the final move to gedit I would like to have two of the best features of Eclipse and Netbeans: code folding (Definitely a MUST have) and code hyperlink-like navigation (A would-like).

The Hyperlink-like code navigation I'm referring is that when you move the mouse pointer over a function or object's method, It get's highlighted and becomes a hyperlink wich links to the source code of this  function, methos or definition.

Anjuta Dev studio already does code folding quite well, so I'd first take a look at the IDE's source code and try to catch up the idea of what can be done to implement this useful feature.

But before writing anything I would like to have your opinions of this feature request. I'm willing to invest a couple of hours to help coding this as a plugin. 

What do you think, will this be possible in gedit?

cheers!!
