I'm running eclipse on WinXP and had been using gvim 7.1. I have finally gotten eclipse to load the vim plugin (one must point to the cygwin/bin/vim.exe rather than the 'normal' gvim executable).
Remaining questions: Can the plugin run gvim? (when I changed the preference to point to it, it would launch, but as an indepenent app).
the cygwin version doesn't appear to like my existing _vimrc file (probably due to it's non-gui nature). However, I would like to change the default color scheme, but am having a few problems. Can someone point me toward a list of available colors (bg and fg) with the non-gui vim? I have tried a number of them that are listed in the vim help, but they are either ignored or garishly wrong.
Where can I put my eclipse based _vimrc file? Is that in /usr/share/vim?
Also, when I attempt to edit a file (*.c), vim is not the default editor (even though it is so mapped), but must use the 'edit with' option. Is this a bug, or pilot error?
When I attempt to open another file (with the first still open), I get a black unresponsive window where I would expect to see the source of the second file. Bug or pilot error?
Thanks!

I also am curious about the _vimrc/.vimrc location for this. I've used gvim all my windows life so I'm not clear on how to get the cygwin vim to find it.

I figured this part out: in the preferences for vimplugin, simply add -u <location of your vimrc file>. Also before attempting to use that _vimrc from gvim, run it through dos2unix as the cygwin vim requires a unix formatted file to chomp it happily.

The current Plug-in can't run GVim - but my modified version can.
And yes I will make my version available ;-). See:

Hope it works out
