Vimplugin enhances Eclipse's functionality through an exclusive Eclipse plugin. This plugin introduces the versatile Vim editor to allow users to edit text content more effectively in Eclipse IDE.
Vimplugin is an Eclipse plugin that lets users enjoy the power of Vim within the Eclipse IDE. Vim is a powerful editor, while Eclipse is a robust IDE, but its editor lacks many features Vim offers. The solution is simple: use the best of both worlds.
This plugin is based on Vim tip #1031 and leverages JTA, a swing-based Java terminal emulator, and the SWT_AWT bridge of Eclipse 3.1. Additionally, Vimplugin's development is truly open-source and is supported by a community of volunteers who share interests. Anybody who is familiar with Java or Vim can contribute to the project, and even those who don't want to contribute can show their support by dropping a message on the mailing list or forums.
The mailing list "vimplugin-devel" serves as the community's main hub. People can ask questions, submit feature requests, report installation issues, or express their fondness for the tool. Meanwhile, they will remain informed of any events or releases related to Vimplugin.
The latest release of the software includes a major update with a new feature that allows the embedding of gvim within the GTK environment. Communication between Eclipse and Vim now uses the "external-editor" protocol (refer to :help netbeans in Vim).
Overall, Vimplugin is an impressive tool that bridges the gap between Vim and Eclipse. Its robust community and commitment to being a truly open-source project make it a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy the benefits of both Vim and Eclipse.
