Installation

Prerequisites

Installing Vimplugin

An eclipse update site is set up under

In your eclipse use

  1. “help|updates|find and install”
  2. “search for new features”
  3. “new remote site” with the URL given above
  4. finish. A dialog should popup presenting you the plugin to install.
  5. restart eclipse.

Configure Vimplugin

  1. choose Preferences… from the Window menu
  2. choose Vimplugin from the left pane
  3. verify/replace the path to the gvim executable in the “Path to gvim” field.
  4. check whether you want to embed vim into eclipse or not.
  5. under WIndow|Preferences|General|Editors choose the file-types you want to associate with vim.
1) Linux: Vim must have netbeans enabled. Unfortunately the vim packages provided by some distros don't enable this (confirmed Fedora 8). To check, see if the output of “gvim –version|grep netbeans” has the flag ”+netbeans_intg”. If it has a minus instead of a plus (”-netbeans_intg”) you do not have netbeans enabled and will have to recompile vim with the –enable-netbeans flag.
2) Windows, you will need Vim 7.1.091 or later, the current stable Windows installer is not yet up to this patch level. The custom installer Cream – http://cream.sourceforge.net/ – installs 7.1.293 as of this writing, and appears to work embedded as of this writing. Vim may also be compiled by hand
3) You must have the PDE installed for anything to work. Not all eclipse distributions come with PDE, but it's available in from the software updates menu.
