In reverse order:

I have done "syntax colouring" for Delphi. In fact it should be called
"lexical colouring" because only a scanner is used to tokenize and a
hashtable to detect reserved words. Easy, provided the editor supports
colours, that is.

Class browser is more difficult because it does need syntax analisys
and library knowledge.=20

=46or error location, you have to execute the compiler collecting the
output. I'm no expert with regular expressions, but I guess it should
be easy to recognize error lines.
