[vimplugin-devel] How to get vimplugin working with Eclipse

[Bow T. <bow...@gm...>]

I'm really trying hard to give this Eclipse thing a try again (5th try over
my career).

The one thing preventing me from switching over to Eclipse is the lack of a
vim plugin.  I purchased a vi plugin years ago from that one guy in Europe
but it did not work well so went back to IntelliJ that comes with a free vim
plugin that works and works very well.

I followed the instructions on how to install and get working but it just
ain't working.

When I add the plugin on IntelliJ, I re-launch and wa-la, I'm editing all
files with vim.

With this plugin, I goto Window->preferences and enable some things.

For the life of me I do not know why I have to turn something off and why
there are port
references on the config page I am getting to.

Also I'm not sure why a textbox there references gvim.  What's that really
all about anyway?
I don't want to use gvim, I want to use vim.  At any rate I put in the path
there to vim which is C:\cygwin\bin\vim.exe
and Eclipse freezes.

Also when I go into editor preferences and try to associate editors with
file types, Eclipse does not show me
the .java file type.  Eclipse seems to be very broken in this respect.

Can anyone save the day and help me get this vim plugin working?

All I want to do is use vim as my editor when editing any type of ext files
and have the file open in within the IDE area (not a seperate window that is
launched).

thanks
