#32 Cannot display or edit files

[SWWright]

Using Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1, 64-bit.
Using Eclipse Kepler Service Release 1 (Build id 20130919-0819).
Eclipse was "installed" by unpacking the ZIP archive onto my D: drive.
Using org.vimplugin.ui_0.0.3.jar.
Using Cygwin (32-bit) current as of 2014-01-21.
Using Vim 7.4.135 installed in Cygwin.

Installation:

• Eclipse not running.
• Dropped JAR in D:\eclipse-4.3.1\plugins.
• Started Eclipse.
• Selected Window > Preferences > Vimplugin.
• Set path to D:/Cygwin/root/bin/vim.exe.
  (There is no vim-nox.exe in current version.)

Use:

• Right-clicked a Java file, opened with Vim.
  Black window opened in main pane where files usually open.
  After a couple of seconds, it displayed the usual Vim splash screen (Vim version, "Help poor children in Uganda", a couple of command reminders) and the command ":Hide edit D:/Projects/java/rest-of-path-to-BuildResponse.java".
  And there it sits, ten minutes later. No response to mouse clicks or keystrokes.

The rest of Eclipse works just fine. However, double-clicking any file opens it in a new window with the same crippled Vim. It's like it is waiting for me to hit the Enter key to edit the file, but hitting the Enter key does nothing.

I tried opening Vim in a Cygwin session, and I typed in the same command sequence "hide edit name-of-file". I got a warning from Cygwin about using an MS-DOS style path. Cygwin has been issuing these warnings for a couple of years now, I think. The recommended path to an Windows file is not "C:\path\to\file", it is "/cygdrive/c/path/to/file". Perhaps this is what is choking vimplugin?
