Hi,
I know there are at least three java IDE/Platforms which claim to be
very extensible: Eclipse, Netbeans and jEdit. I am thinking of writing
a little IDE for a small, non-mainstream language. Which one of the
existing IDEs is likely to be the easiest to extend? Provide most
functionality for the least effort?

I don't care about the license, and I am looking to provide at least
the following functionality:
- Syntax highlighting (obviously)
- Some sort of library browser
- Intellisense
- Integration with the compiler/interpreter

...the usual 'beyond notepad' type stuff.

Look forward to some good advice, thanks!

From the list you've given, I've only used Eclipse but it seems to be
expressly designed for the sort of thing you want to do. Since I've never
used them, I wasn't aware that the others even claimed to be extensible so I
can't say if they'd be easier for what you are planning.
