Hi there! I'm a hardcore-Vim-user for myself (80x25 virtual terminal, of course), but for work I have to use Eclipse as an IDE; and in fact, the Eclipse-Java-editor offers some nice features useful when writing Java (and so does the XML one, for instance). At work we also use the Eclipse code formatter to ensure uniform code-format, simply Ctrl+Shift+F. However, I'm missing Vim-style editing; today I found out that there's vimplugin, aiming at providing a Vim editor inside Eclipse. I didn't yet manage to get it work, so I have never seen it live; but as far as I found out, it is somewhat embedding of a real vim at the editor's place, isn't it? So you don't have native Eclipse-editor features like the ones I described above, right? What I think of is that it may be possible to extend the real Eclpise-Java-editor to accept vim-commands? I don't know much of Eclipse-plugins yet, but this seems somewhat probably to me. You would need to implement the Vim commands yourself, though. But if this is possible (and not yet covered by vimplugin), I'd really like to implement this -- either as part of vimplugin if you think this would make sense or as separate project, maybe with some help and experience from you?
