[vimplugin-devel] I Would Like to Help Out with Code Development

[<zee...@ne...>]

Hi,

My name is Robert Barror. I am a software architect. ( Wow, that sounds like a 12 step program intro :) ) ... It all started when I was 14 ...

... anyways,

I would like very much, to be able to use eclipse without loosing VIM. I would also like to contribute my time to the community. I understand that you guys could use more developers. I am currently quite tied up with contract work, but I should be free to devote time to a software project starting in October. I would be more then happy to give 10-15 hours a week assisting were ever I can. I feel that if I am going to put my heart into something, it is better for it to be something everyone can benefit from.

I am not to particularly picky about the type of software I am developing as long as it is challenging and targets posix like platforms :) I have been programing since 1974. I have learned a lot of languages. But I have never written any Java code (though I learned it well enough to become a Sun certified Java developer). I have been using Python (my current fav language) which has a similar object model, so I should be able to learn to think in Java quickly. I am well versed in C and C++. 

Please let me know if I can help, and if so, what I should be studying to get up to speed. BTW, I have been using VIM for about 10 years. I have lost count of the number of time I have compiled it for HP-UX. It is one of my MUST-HAVE applications. I have messed with Eclipse a little, but without VI, I find it too limited for real work. I have just downloaded eclim and will be playing with it sometime this week, if I get the time.

thx, bob

Thanks, that's cool. I'll apply it ASAP.

It's always a problem to tes on other platforms. ...

Yeah, it is slow and more important not continous: when I have the time
and leisure I can be quite productive, but often other things are more
important.

But the source code is there. If you have the skill, send a patch as
described here: http://vimplugin.org/developerguide and ill be happy to
apply it.

Also improvements to the wiki are always welcome.

Of first priority to me seems to make it stable. There are some issues
and a lot of missing features. But to get more ppl using it, it should
be "simply working". Ill try to make a "0.4.0" as a stable version, and
then continue to work on a "0.5.x" development-branch. This seems to
customary for such projects.

Sorry, im only an occasional IRC user, perhaps we should remove that

That's the intended audience ;-)

There would be a chance to help if you gave more infos, e.g. in
workspace there should be a hidden directory ".metadata" which contains
a hidden file ".log", that file should contain some more infos, stack
traces etc.

Also the two views under "Windows|Show View|PDE Runtime" are interesting
(did the plugin load at all?, show plugin runtime errors etc)

Perhaps a page in the wiki on "troubleshooting" would be helpful in
such cases... ?

[vimplugin-devel] can't get vimplugin working in carbide c++

[袁野 <yua...@gm...>]

carbide c++ is an eclipse-based IDE for developing c++ programs for symbian
mobile OS. I can install other plugins for eclipse like some spell checker
or doxygen in carbide c++, but not vimplugin.

so i don't know if it's a problem of vimplugin or carbide c++.
i'm using vimplugin 0.3.4

please help me....

[vimplugin-devel] Current status?

[Gavin G. <gav...@gm...>]

Hello there,

I was wondering if there was any sort of recent status update on vimplugins
development?

Having a look at all the alternatives to bring vim into eclipse, I'd say
that
this was probably the most preferable route that you guys are taking. I'm a
little saddened that such functionality isn't rock solid in eclipse and
marketed as a feature by this time, but what can you do I suppose!

Is the project still active off and on? I realize that you've said
development
is slow on your main page, I just wondered how slow it was really.

I was looking forward to trying vimplugin out, but I'm hitting some issues
with
installation after an hour or so of mucking about. I'm just getting dumped
the
following stacktrace:

No, not yet. The low level communication between vim and eclipse isnt
in good shape yet: The basics do work: 

One can call "eclipse-commands" like "rebuild project" from vim, and
one can send commands to vim via "--remote-send" for example.

We are still experimenting with these. But I am sure one _can_ implement
things like error-markers, provided enough expertise on vim and eclipse
(and time).

Hello,

 I've just tried vimplugin, with gvim compile with netbeans integration.
 It works well for launching an embedded vim editor, but after that, there
is not much integration with eclipse.
 For example, when modifying a file, the tab is stared (chich is good,
because the file is modified), but when saving the file, eclipse is not
advertised that a change has been done....

Should I see more integration (error markers and so one ? )

 Any hint ?

Intuitively I think this is not so good. I had a closer look at it:

The ProcessBuilder class is in the GCJ-API. But it seems to behave
differently than the one of Suns API in our context. I think, that the
parameter "-nb" isn't evaluated correctly, since the plugin waits
forever to establish the connection. I'll have a closer look at this.

Thanks for the efforts anyway!

You are completely right ...

I started this mail three times, but while writing I started coding....

Now I got it running. My big mistake before were outdated docs (vim
6.4 ...). Newer vims have a :nbkey command that was new to me. Now
everything makes sense (and is already  implemented).

We can now map any specialKey in vim to any eclipse-command fairly easy:

At  startup of VimConnection we add a KeyCommand2 listener which
reacts to specific key events thrown by vim: This listener class has
also a Handler which performs some action. One handler implementation
is "HandleEclipseCommand" which just launches any eclipse command which
is known by its string-id. Here a snippet from VimConnection:
  
  CommandHandler handler =
    new HandleEclipseCommand("org.eclipse.ui.project.buildProject");
  listeners.add(new KeyCommand2("C-B",handler)); 
  command(vimID, "specialKeys","\"C-B\"");

When you type ":nbkey C-B" in vim the following happens (simplified):

  - vim sends a "keyAtPos XYZ" event to the socket.
  - vimplugin reads the event from the socket and creates a VimEvent.
  - all listeners are notified about that event
  - the KeyCommand2 from above reacts because it is configured to
    react to "C-B"s
  - the keycommand calls its handler which is the HandleEclipseCommand
  - the handler is configurd to exec "org.eclipse.....buildProject"
  - The current eclipse project is built.


Current trunk can also do code-completion (details in old class
KeyCommand but that's easy to reenable). I started a handler for that,
but commands/handler have no parameters until now. so thats on my todo
list. The other thing is to make the mapping 

  specialKey <-> eclipse-command 

configurable in preferences.

You see, there are a lot of open issues now, but on that basis it will
be easy to go on now ...

Quite excited,

Sebastian.

[vimplugin-devel] eclimplugin compiles and installs now.

[Martin K. <kri...@us...>]

Hello,

I merged the newest eclim sources into eclimplugin and new it does compiles 
and installs ok. So may be I can now do some testing.

If anybody want's to join, you find eclimplugin at:

https://vimplugin.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vimplugin/branches/eclimplugin

I used "eclim/Build-Krischik.btm" [1] to compile and install. Now as the name 
of the script suggest - it will only work for me. However, reading the script 
might give you some indication on what is needed and you can then write your 
own.

The "Changed_Files.utf8" list contains all the files I have chanced to turn 
vimplugin+eclim into eclimplugin. It is not all that much so I think joining 
the project isn't all that hard.

Note: this is not "ready to use" code - it's development code which probably 
does not work and was checked in for other developers to work with.

Regards

Martin

You don't need formic.  That is only used to create an installer, which is for
your purposes is unnecessary.

No, as my first message in this thread noted, you can simply run:
$ ant -Dplugins=ant,jdt
to only build the specified plugins (ant and jdt in this case).

>  What additional settings do I need?

The only setting you need is one which specifies where your eclipse install is
located so that the build can deploy the plugins.  If you try running ant and
that setting is not found, then you will get an informative message indicating
how to set it... like so:

  $ ant
  Buildfile: build.xml
       [echo]
       [echo]  ${eclipse.home} not set.
       [echo]  Please set via system arg (ant -Declipse.home=...) or
       [echo]  via environment variable (export ECLIM_ECLIPSE_HOME="...").
       [echo]

  BUILD FAILED
  eclim/build.xml:43: missing required property (see above)

  Total time: 0 seconds

So, if my eclipse home is at /opt/eclipse then I would run:
  ant -Declipse.home=/opt/eclipse
or for a windows example
  ant -Declipse.home="C:/Program Files/eclipse"

I never use eclispe directly. Eclim was meant to be built via its ant build
file.

Aside from the javadocs, not yet.

More or less, yes.

The only true eclipse plugin is org.eclim, and as such, it is the only one that
has a plugin.xml.  The others are essentially just osgi bundles loaded by
org.eclim.  The actual java source files are located under src/java.

I suppose the "magic" you are missing is performed by nailgun
(http://www.martiansoftware.com/nailgun/), which allows you to invoke a main
class running in another jvm using their command line client (written in c).

I'll try to find some time to put together a more comprehensive document
outlining eclim's design.  Up until now it just hasn't been a high priority.

Re: [vimplugin-devel] Some News

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

Hi,
 I think making vimplugin to use eclim is not that good idea, or
atleast following the way eclim implemented the things. Their case is
different, they have to implement each and every eclipse functionality
inside vim. Eclim people implemented the code for code completion
[abstractcompletioncommand.java i guess] and some other commands. they
also have vim scripts for displaying the data. We can just simply use
the code of the commands those we want implement. I'm trying to
implement code completion part by taking the code from the above
mentioned file.

Correct me, if I'm wrong or if you people have some other ideas.

Do I really have to install all php, pydev, wst plugins for eclipse?

I'm not really interested in building eclim as is, I just want to try it

or reduce it to a minimal feature-set to test out interaction with
vimplugin...

Isn't there any developer documentation? 

Perhaps you could give a very short outline of the internal
architecture. Here is what I have figured out from the sources:

1.) eclimd is a headless eclipse that manages a minimal set of
(eclipse)-plugins residing in src/eclipse/plugins. The plugins have no
plugin.xml and seem to have no classes.

2.) I can talk to eclimd with vim or "eclim".
":PingEclim" is the same as "eclim -command ping"
"eclim" is just the class org.eclim.command.Main which calls
implementations of the java interface org.eclim.command.Command.

3.) These commands (magically) can perform eclipse actions like
CodeCompletion. Is this because both applications (eclimd and eclim)

[vimplugin-devel] Cleanup and CodeReview

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

Hi all

Before working on any new features, I tried to clean up the code as good
as I could. The reason for all that is of course that any interested
developer should be able to get into it real fast. And I think we are at
that point now. 

So everyone whos interested: checkout the sources and have a try ... To
get started read this: http://vimplugin.org/developerguide

Main topics yesterday and tonight were:

  * javadoc. see http://vimplugin.org/api
  * a class diagram to get clearer about the architectore. 
    see http://vimplugin.org/architecture
  * fix error-handling (no more e.printStacktrace !)

For the last point I had to make a number of changes which I could not
test in detail. It would be great if anyone could have a look at it
and write a small code review of this:
http://vimplugin.svn.sf.net/vimplugin/?rev=220&view=rev 

Thanks for that one ...

Sebastian.
