    I follow the instruction on the website (http://vimplugin.org/installation) to install plugin v0.3.4 and config the perference with embedded option checked and path pointing to the gvim installation dir. However after associating *.java file with vim and launching java file for editing, it replies error 'Unkown option argument: --windowid'.

    I  try to change several options such as password, etc. Yet it does not work. Orginally I use default option it did not work as well.

    How to solve this error?

    Thank you very much.

      I'm having the same issue.  There doesn't appear to be a --windowid option for gvim 7.1, nor does there seem to be a way to change the options being passed by the plugin to gvim.

      Anybody have an answer to this one yet?

      The answer is hidden away in  the fine print on the installation page:

      "Windows, you will need Vim 7.1.091 or later, the current stable Windows installer is not yet up to this patch level. The custom installer Cream – http://cream.sourceforge.net/ – installs 7.1.293 as of this writing, and appears to work embedded as of this writing. Vim may also be compiled by hand"

      From this it seems as if the Vim version that you have installed is not recent enough.

        Thanks!  That fixed it for me.  -Steve
