Re: [vimplugin-devel] Vimplugin on Windows XP - definitive advice?

[<Pau...@co...>]

Does the .log file have anything useful in it?  It should be in your
workspace/.metadata directory.

I run the plugin on XP with Eclipse 3.3.1 (as part of IBM's RSA
environment).  I installed the plugin in February, and remember having
similar problems, but it didn't take long to fix.  The problem is that I
wasn't aware at the time it was such a common problem, so I don't really
remember what I did specifically.  I do not use Cygwin at all.  I'm not
100% sure, but I think I had to set the default behaviour to loading it in
an external application (gvim for windows) instead of trying to do it
internally.  The plugin provides "Vim" and "Vim (new window)". One thing I
do remember confusing me at first was the fact that the editor won't be
embedded in Eclipse, but instead launches an external gvim application with
the selected file.

>From Windows-Preferences->VimPlugin I have:
Port: 3219
Host: localhost
no password
and path: C:\Program Files\Vim\vim71\gvim.exe

That  may not be much help, but I'll read through and try to job my memory.

I also found another plugin that actually provides vim functionality inside
most of the default editors.  This allows for using the good stuff of both
vim and the IDE at the same time, though it is no free (about $20 US).

...
In other words, is Vimplugin for Linux only, or not?

Many thanks for any help or advice I may receive on this. I will
definitely share / post it widely for posterity.

Stewart

[vimplugin-devel] Vimplugin just hangs under Windows/Cygwin
From: David Griffiths <david.griffiths@gm...> - 2007-12-04 15:42

Hi, I've just installed vimplugin using these instructions:
http://vimplugin.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Community.Installationand

it hangs when trying to open a file. This is on Windows XP with
Eclipse
3.3.1.1. I'm also using Cygwin. I've tried pointing the vimplugin path at
Cygwin vim.exe and gvim.exe and I've also downloaded the Windows gvim build
and tried that and none of them work. I get the messages:

Trying to start vim
> Started vim
> Server started and listening
>

Eclipse is then totally hung.

but then I get those same messages if I point the path at cat.exe! There
are
some mysterious Port/Host/Password settings but I can't find any
documentation on them.

Also I was a bit confused by the fact that the main web site refers to
vimplugin depending on JTA (is this something I need to download
separately?) and other pages I've seen that say it uses a Netbeans protocol
that requires a special vim build.

Thanks,

Dave

vim v. gvim _vimrc and colors
By: kilgore trout (serfian) - 2007-05-21 11:46
Hi all:

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!

Windows Display Problems
By: Legit (legit) - 2008-01-22 10:49
Hi All,

I'm running eclipse on win xp with version 3.3 and have gvim for
windows installed. everything works fine except that when i open a
file in the vim editor (via vim plugin) it opens a seperate window for
vim, instead of keeping it in the standard eclipse window. is this a
problem with the plugin on windows or is this a problem with the way
i've set it up.

thanks,
