Vimplugin is an attempt to use the vim editor inside the eclipse IDE. This is handy especially for longtime vim users. But other users (say occasional vim users) can also profit: macros, regexes, syntax-highlighting for 1001 languages etcpp.

User Reviews

  • I unzipped the vimplugin JAR file into my workspace .plugin directory, but do not see any VimPlugin controls from the IDE. (I'm using Springsource Tool Suite on Windows 7.)
  • Dropped it in the plugins, started an eclipse session, opened a file using "open with -> Vim", and got an unresponsive black window. Set the vimplugin preference location to point to a different installation of vim, same results. Without even being able to see text, much less do anything to it, I have to do the thumbs down. Eclipse helios SR 2 running on windows XP sp2
  • the readme file alludes to using jta (java terminal application). played around with that for 20 minutes but could not get any further than eammon so decided to give up as i rather spend the time coding.
  • No documentation or installation instructions. Attempted to install by dropping in Eclipse's dropins directory. "Open with vim" option appears when right-clicking files but does not do anything apparent. I gave up at that point; life is short.
