#22 Record doesn't work in Eclipse 4.4 Windows 64bit

[Anonymous]

I cannot get this to work with Eclipse 4.4 on Windows 64bit. When I click the "record macro"-button nothing happens. I can play some Eclipse commands and see the desired effect, i.e. "add test-ng class".

I've installed version 0.4.8 from the update site: http://puremvcnotificationviewer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/PracticallyMacroGoogleUpdateSite

Hmm...I haven't tried this Eclipse version I don't think. Have you used it successfully on a previous version of Eclipse or 32 bit?

Clicking on record once should enter record mode, do some commands, then click it again to define the macro. Is that what you're doing?

Sorry, actually it works fine, please close this bug. I tried to record a macro in the project explorer, but after experimenting a bit, I realized the plugin only records in the text editor and there it seems to work without problems with Eclipse 4.4.

Okay, great! Yes, I always limited the macro facility to the editor windows. Trying to supply general macro facilities across the entire Eclipse application is a much more involved problem (which Eclipse seems to have given up on).
