[vimplugin-devel] Using vimplugin without Cygwin

[Toph <fan...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I attempted earlier to get vimplugin working and was having some trouble,
no doubt due to the fact that I am using vim for Windows and not Cygwin,
but I was wondering if it was possible. Before I start playing around with
code, I thought I would ask if there was a particular reason that it didn't
work (i.e. Windows isn't Posix compliant or something). If it can be done
fairly easily, I would really love to work on it within the next few days. I
just started back up with Java for a project on which I am working and it
would be superbly nice to have Vim back.

Thanks for the help and have a wonderful day!

Re: [vimplugin-devel] Google Summer of Code

[Nageshwar <nag...@st...>]

Hi Sebastian,
As I have done a lot of changes, I'm sending the whole project code in
tgz format instead of a patch.
The functionalities that I included are:
===============================
1) We Can open multiple instances of vim
2) We Can also open files in a single vim instance (as buffers) (this
is default)
3) If we close editor tab in eclipse, gvim automatically closes down.
4) If we do any changes in vim, IDE knows abt that and enables save,
saveas options
  ( And also asks for saving when we close the ide editor)
5) We can save changes from IDE.
6) If we select an vim editor tab in eclipse then corresponding vim
window will raise.If it is a buffer, the buffer will be showed.
7) I almost completed key sequence triggering part by taking
keyCommand from vim.That will be completed in a while.

What Needs to be done:
====================
1) Enabling KeyStroke support
2) Showing compilation,syntax error messages ( possible if we use
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor instead of EditorPart). But vim should
provide an interface for this.
3) Embedding the gvim inside eclipse ( but it is very difficult, i
guess.. so far I didn't find any possible way for this.) If we didn't
find a way, then instead of using gvim, we can continue with embedding
terminal vim.(here also we follows the same protocol)
4) Eliminating Bugs

PS: Since we followed strict netbeans external editor protocol, we can
use emacs (every editor that has netbeans interface ) also.

Thanks,

[vimplugin-devel] Building vimplugin on my GNU machine

[Daniel K. <d...@do...>]

Hi again,

I just tried to build vimplugin on my GNU/Linux machine, and it failed 
at first; this was due to a hard-coded path to the Eclipse-directory in 
build.xml, which was wrong for me.

Additionally, it didn't find jta26.jar at first, although it was on my 
CLASSPATH.

I've created a patch and attached, if you are interested in that.  I 
believe this makes the build more portable.  BTW, does vimplugin support 
jumps to the location of errors/warnings through Eclipse-IDE?  That 
should be possible even using an embedded vim.  If not, I'd be glad to 
try to implement it for you ;)

Yours,
Daniel

Sorry for just another message, but I forgot about this one -- this idea 
sounds good for me!  Although I'm not yet sure how the performance of 
such a switch can be for large files; can you tell this for sure?

Yes, of course, Vim is powerful and simply "cool" -- but I believe this 
is not the reason for you developing vimplugin, right?  Everyone can use 
real Vim, who wants to do so.

But there may be reasons why someone still wants to use Eclipse, too -- 
and at least for me, those reasons include some nice features of the 
Eclipse editor and the fact I have to use the code formatter at work.

I can't tell what you guys do with Vim, but according to my experience, 
I use only really simple commands 99% of the time; the more advanced 
ones are nice at a time, but not really the reason for why I prefer Vim 
over some plain editor; it's mainly that I keep hitting Esc all the time 
and entering hjkl and digits there.

Of course I admit that re-implementing Vim's commands is more effort and 
somewhat "ugly code-duplication" than is simply running Vim from a 
terminal-window; and I do not talk just about keybindings.  What I 
thought of (although I do not know whether this is really possible) was 
to create my own editor-component, inluding a status-line like the Vim 
one, but embed the Eclipse-editor inside my editor as SWT-component; 
from my understanding of how Widgets work in general, this should be 
possible.

I do not want to persuade anyone to switch to this approach -- your 
project is interesting in its own sense, and in fact, I just came across 
it because I didn't knew of viclipse, which does not provide much code 
yet but is closer to my ideas (Google "vim plugin eclipse" pointed me to 
this project).  However, I'd still like to hear your opinions, why you 
took that way; maybe you can convince me I'm wrong...

Yours,
Daniel

PS:  BTW, thank you very much for the hint about viclipse!

There already exist such a project:

Its closed source though and has a price for the full version (not sure

I am not too interested in extending the features of the existing Eclipse
editor.

But I am interested in making the editor in Eclipse flip back and forth
between the native one and the Vim one.  That way you hit a button and edit
the text using Vim.  Then hit a button to use the native Eclipse features.

I think that would be more useful than trying to rebuild Vim's features
inside of Eclipse.

[vimplugin-devel] Vim-style editing in Eclipse-editor

[Daniel K. <d...@do...>]

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?

Hope to hear your opinions,
yours,
Daniel

Either delete the org.vimplugin folders under "$ECLIPSE_HOME/features"

I need to use Elipse for other reasons and would like to temporarily disable

You mean no need for "cygwin" anymore ? That's great ... :-)

The problem with taking input keystrokes is probably that the editor
doesn't get the focus, after starting vim...

Try to use the sun-java. Under Debian you can adjust the path to java

Yes it's possible. Here's how the terminal window is created in class
org.vim.vimplugin.editors.VimEditor, l109.

It would be easy to refactor the Font out of that and make it
configurable via the preference page. (at least for new terminals) 

See l.65 in the same file on how to access the preferences and the
package org.vim.vimplugin.preferences on how to handle preferences in
general.

console vim rather than gvim, so my question is how to set the font of
that _console window_. Is that possible at all, currently?

Best regards,

Martin

Once it is loaded up, you can change it the "Vim" way, can't you?

I typically do it this way (using gvim)
:set guifont=*

Then choose a font using the dialog that pops up (make sure you choose a
fixed-type font.
Then type:
:set

In my case I see:
guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h11:b:cANSI

I have never actually tried setting the font in a console vim, but that can
be asked on the Vim users list.

HTH,
Dave

[vimplugin-devel] change font?

[Martin G. <mg...@gm...>]

Hi everybody,

I just learnt about the vimplugin.
A first question: Is there a way to change the font of the vim window
in eclipse?

Thanks for all hints.

Hmm, what does the ErrorLog say? (Window|Show View|PDE Runtime|Error Log).

Please be more specific.

There is a precompiled version in the cygwin setup.exe

vimplugin is set up to use that at the default location. If you compile
your own or have it at another location, you have to set it in the
preferences.

This is a true bug: It happens if the vim binary cannot be found, but
the plugin continues anyway sending commands to "null.stdin" . The
exception should be caught and an Error message should popup. Anyone?

> Anything I can do for you?

Catch the exception, and let a popup appear with the error message
( method showMessage ).

See
http://vimplugin.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Community.GettingStarted
 for howto get started ...

Thanks alot, Sebastian.

I just used your update feature. I was able to successfully find it
and us it. But after it restarted, vim would not show up in its
designated window. When I ran eclipse from the console I would get the
message "vim loaded successfully" when I opened up the file for
editing.

I'm on debian linux.
