Thanks for developing this plugin. Your project goal sounds very promising, I have been waiting for a plugin that can do more than simple syntax highlighting for Prolog.
I've just installed the plugin and everything seems to work fine (even running Prolog files in a SWI-Prolog session), except the source compilation feature. Whatever I type in a Prolog editor gets syntax highlighted correctly, but never compiled - or so it seems. I've tried removing periods after predicates, or using nonexistent predicate as goals in other predicates, but the editor does not complain with errors.
Anything I might be missing? Since I can successfully run Prolog files in a SWI session (using plcon.exe on a windows machine), I don't understand what could be wrong. I'm using Eclipse SDK 3.3.1.1
Thanks,
Ivo

Thanks for your reply. I have indeed configured the SWI compiler (selected plcon.exe in pl/bin), and "Swi Compiler" is selected as the Default Compiler. I assume this is done correctly as I can select "Run as -> Run SWI session" on a Prolog file and it will open in the Eclipse console, compiled and well. Some more things I tried:
* No errors or warnings to be seen about prolog files in either the prolog perspective or the java perspective, so it's not a "matter of perspective".
* Errors that I introduce to test the compiler do end up as errors when I open a SWI session in the Eclipse console, so they are "legitimate errors" :)
* I think this problem doesn't have to do with the SWI-Prolog version (used both 5.6.54 and 5.6.60 to no avail).
* Building automatically or building manually makes no difference.
Anyone else got problems with the compilation error feature?
Thanks,
Ivo

Hi Ivo,
Have you configured the swi compiler at the windows preferences page ?
Please visit http://prodevtools.sourceforge.net/configuration.html if you haven't and let me know if the file finally compiled :)
