Description Darin Swanson 2003-02-07 22:59:18 UTC 
I would like to suggest that it would be a great addition to the 
ProjectHelper/ProjectHelperImpl if a method similar to the following was added:

public void parse(Project project, InputStream stream, String fileAbsolutePath).

This new entry point could be made to work with a some refactoring of the 
existing code and would allow parsing to occur on in memory working copy of a 
file (which we have in the Eclipse IDE).

Thanks

Have you thought of providing your own project helper? I haven't looked into
what is required for your use-case and there may even be issues when using your
own ProjectHelper but I thought I would mention the possibility.
