[Vimplugin-devel] Reviving vimplugin

[Sebastian M. <seb...@un...>]

Hi 

(for the third time in 5 Minutes)

As you probably noticed something is happening again with this project.

Let me explain why: In the last year I had not the time or the energy to
maintain this actively. The project was about to die. But over time some
emails reached me encouriging to go on, asking questions how to get to
use the plugin etc. I came to the conclusion that there is enough
potential for a small community. 

So the new effort is more focussed on bringing people together, in the
hope, that the project will sustain itself. Some things I did or will do
next days:

1) reannounce the project to attract new people.
2) setup a commits-mailing list
3) setting reply-to such that all main discussion will go on here.
4) opened the forums on sf.net
5) switch to subversion
6) update the website

Any more ideas?

And here some technical stuff.

1) Though we can use the beloved vim inside eclipse, the integration is
very weak. How cool would it be to have some of the cool eclipse
features for use with vim (e.g. incremental build, refactorings )

2) There is an option to use vim as an external editor of netbeans:
http://externaleditor.netbeans.org/
http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/netbeans.html

Do you think this would be an option for a tighter integration of the
vimplugin?

Regards, Sebastian.
