[vimplugin-devel] Could not open the editor

[Bart N. <ba...@tr...>]

Hi, folks. I'm trying to set up vimplugin.

I've installed it on a version of Eclipse called SpringSource Tool 
Suite (a requirement for this project). I'm very new to Eclipse -- if 
I had my way I'd be using console vim and compiling with shell 
scripts...

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.

I have gvim 7.2. gvim --version | grep netbeans returns the following:
+multi_lang -mzscheme +netbeans_intg -osfiletype +path_extra +perl +postscript
so it has Netbeans support.

I saw on the installation instructions that I need "PDE" so I searched 
and installed this:
PDE/API Tools Environment Descriptions	1.0.0.v20090512-7C-0F9JgLMsM0MXAWLrL

The first time I tried to open a file from Eclipse in vim (it's from a 
read only SVN repository in case that's relevant) it seemed to freeze 
for a while and I got a whole bunch of console output (I had started 
Eclipse from the command line). Eventually the file opened in the 
standard Eclipse editor and there was another tab with this error 
output:
Could not open the editor: org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.repository.RepositoryFileEditorInput cannot be cast to org.eclipse.ui.IFileEditorInput

Clicking for more details gave this backtrace:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.team.svn.ui.repository.RepositoryFileEditorInput cannot be cast to org.eclipse.ui.IFileEditorInput

Subsequent attempts to open a file give the same result but are much 
quicker.

Full console output follows.

Any help would be much appreciated.
