Can open source projects use code from other open source projects ?


Because if it possible, Blender has implemented the autocomplete function for their python scripting editor, so mybe it could be "copied and pasted" to processing and we would have autocomplete in processing .

link: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Quorn/SummerOfCode2008

Is this possible ?

First question: yes, as long as the licenses are compatible.

Second question: no. From a quick look, the code you show is written in Python, so has nothing to do with Processing (written in Java). I could as well point to autocompletion in Scintilla/SciTE (written in C++)! We would have better luck looking at Eclipse code (or even Netbeans one!).

Autocompletion isn't very hard to do, somebody with a bit of knowledge and lot of free time could do wonders on the Processing editor (so much to improve!).
Personally, I have this bit of knowledge (a bit of Java, a bit of experience contributing to Scintilla/SciTE, precisely...), I even have the will/interest, but I fear I don't have the (continuous periods of) free time (but I don't give up...).
