PROCESSING 5503 SYNC
Add library keyword highlighting.
Test the FTDI drivers in the arduino.dmg.
Update reference.
Test bootloader burning w/ an AVRISP and a parallel programmer.
Add the Serial monitor.
Change the colors.
Revise the icon.
Check that I'm not requiring the JDK (as opposed to JRE) unnecessarily.
Fix Windows make.sh, etc. scripts.
Test on Windows.
Fix Linux make.sh, etc. scripts
Test on Linux.
Add support for third-party boards in the user's sketchbook folder.
Add support for third-party cores in the user's sketchbook folder.
Test the upload.using parameter to upload with a programmer.
Compiler.java
- Collect the target object files (.o) into a static library (.a) and link the other object files (from the sketch and libraries) against it.
- Build each library separately, with its own include path and destination (for .o files) so they don't collide with each other.
- Eliminate the need to pass a Target into the compiler by having the Compiler determine the current target (by checking the preferences directly)?
- Delete the unneeded static functions (for classpath translation, etc.) from the bottom of the file.
Sketch.java
- add system-wide include path in preprocess()?
- should find libraries in the code/ sub-folder of the sketch folder
PreProcessor.java
- split write() into writeHeader() and write() as in Processing?
- add getExtraImports() function instead of having Sketch grab them directly.
- don't use oro.jar
Base.java
- add keywords from libraries to the syntax coloring
- remove "examples" folder from the examples and toolbar menus for the libraries.
Editor.java
- allow the Board and Serial port to differ across editor windows. This will require creating a separate instance of the menu for each window, and passing the selections into the sketch when compiling or uploading.
- send the current board and serial port selections to the sketch (which will forward them to the compiler) when compiling or uploading (this should eliminate the need for the Target class, since the compiler will be able to find the target path and its source files itself)
Preferences.java
- get rid of unused preferences in the dialog box
AVR
Servo library:
- patch for the Mega (pins 11 and 12, not 9 and 10)

- client.connect() returns 0 when connection is successful? http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1238295170

Include Arduino as AVR-ISP sketch in hardware/firmwares.
Move type definitions into WConstants.h.
Change core and libraries to use Arduino types (e.g. byte, boolean).
Fix millis() so it never increments by two.
Consider moving millis() to timer 1, and configuring it so the interrupt is generated once a millisecond.

Check RAM usage of sketches: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1224729260/0#0
Improve preprocessing of sketches:
- Better determine which header files are included (not commented out).
- Remember the original locations of function prototypes to highlight the correct line on error.
Multiple sketch windows.
