Hi all, Myself (David Terei) and Nageshwar M. have been working on a Vim plugin for Eclipse as Part of Google Summer of Code and the time has come to announce the fruits of our labour I guess you could say.
The project aims to allow you to use Vim easily within Eclipse as well as extending Vim itself to be able to make use of the some of the features of Eclipse. We have a website which contains more information: http://code.google.com/p/eeedit/ You can also follow the links from here to download the plugin as well as follow instructions on how to get up and running with it. This project is in its very early stages, so far Vim functions pretty much as an external editor (although there's more then this going on behind the scenes). You can however if you're lucky enough to be on Linux and using a GTK2 build of Vim embed it into Eclipse. There is a patch under review by Bram for enabling support for this under Windows. There are a few rough edges with the most noticeable being that the Eclipse Error log with fill up with invalid thread access complaints. Also some issues with the swap file being left behind on correct shutdowns of Vim. We haven't encountered any data loss, but please tread carefully as we defiantly make no guarantee about this at this stage sorry. We have a mailing list setup through Google groups: http://groups.google.com/group/eeedit-dev Feel free to join and ask us any questions you have, suggestions, complaints...
