[vimplugin-devel] New Release needed

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

Hi,

I made a few Windows related fixes and they tested ok. Only I can't manage to 
create a new deployment :-(. Could any of you pick up where I left?

BTW: I suggest we try to create an "achieved site" as well - for those who are 
stuck behind a firewall / proxy.

Thanks

Martin

Hi,

Can you give some more details about the fixes. I read some previous
mails talking about problems running vimplugin on windows, but not
able to reply because of some problems. Basically, for successfully
running the vimplugin on windows, you need to have patched gvim [if
you are using older gvim] or latest release. As a part of our gsoc
idea, we did some modifications on vim side also. vimplugin can embed
gvim window inside the eclipse editor window.

Actually it's a pretty simple bugfix around a confusion in the use of command 
line parameter (-socketid vs. -windowid). Anybody could have done it - it 
just got forgotten.

I also changed to info texts to reflect the fact that embedding works with Vim 
7.1 and Windows.

All it now need is a deployment...

I made 0.3.3 from the current trunk and pushed it to the update-site.

Please try it on your platforms (64bit-systems, Windows, Linuxes,
different eclipse-versions etc.) and report here.

Martin, it seems you are the only one working regularly on vimplugin.
Great :-) But I found some files in the trunk that contain your local
stuff:
http://vimplugin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vimplugin?view=rev&revision=203
E.g. paths like C:\Work\... or programs like "ncftpput" and "7za" wont
be available on any other system than yours.

In general I would appreciate to discuss things before committing. Or,
at least, report afterwards (like im doing now ...).

4,6 or 8 eyes will see more flaws than 2 :-) That way we can keep
better quality. Please be careful to commit only really good stuff.

Nageshwar asked to collect current issues. As far as I can see it's only
the "howto get it under windows" (bugid: 1938885) and "64bit"-issue
(which i had myself ...)

Both seem to be fixed now. Also the bug "blank tabs" by edyfox could be
closed if the embedding under Windows works.

What other issues are there currently ? Any showstoppers?

best wishes, Sebastian.

I think that should cover it. The other large problem at the moment is
windows support for embedding. Nageshwar submitted a patch which has
been added to Vim a while ago (although not yet in a released version)
but it has some problems compared to the GTK version.

1) Vim when started isn't 100% maximised and can be resized. Ideally
it should fill the whole window and can't be resized, the GTK version
functions this way.

2) It steals the focus from Eclipse. Even though its 'inside' and
'part of' Eclipse, when you select the Vim instance, Eclipse
completely looses the focus, e.g The title bar becomes the deactivate
title bar.

I think the problem is we are using the SetParent win32 function which
is meant more for MDI apps which isn't exactly what we want. When I
was looking at some code of how other applications do this (mplayer is
a good example) they seemed to retrieve the window they wanted to
embed in and use that as the root window to paint to... not sure if
that makes sense, if not ill try to explain it better.

Anyway, I think that's a big issue which we need to solve since WIN32
support at the moment with embedding is pretty horrible, no offence to
Nageshwar intended. We might also be able to fix up the current method
through just changing some window properties (e.g disable resizing)
but I'm worried about the focus issue, perhaps we can fix that in the
current method but I suspect it perhaps requires a different method of
embedding or changes elsewhere in the Win32 GUI code for Vim.

Also, I have been since the start of this year (and will be until mid
July ) travelling so I don't have any time to work on the project but
hope to be able to once I'm back home.

Oh and yes for a current release it sounds great, there are probably
some more stability issues which need to be solved but the current
code is a definite improvement so might as well get it out.

Best regards,

David

Hi guys,

I think it is in the latest release 7.1

Didn't we write code for resizing the gvim window to the size of the
editor window ?

embedding ?

Not sure, I think so but that its off by 1 pixel or so.

Ok, I'll have to install Eclipse and the plugin when I have time since
I have a new laptop, MPlayer guys are using the method that I
mentiioned before, I'm not very clear on the method as I was still
studying it to potentially implement a patch for vim but it was not
needed since you solved the problem.
