Eclim file browser Project Tree vs NerdTree

[Geeb]

Hi!

Firstly thanks for the Eclim project - I really appreciate being able to use the features of Eclipse and Vim simultaneously!

Here's my question:

I like the NerdTree tree browser more the Eclim's inbuilt Project Tree - essentially because it doesn't indent the sub-dir branches as much and use so much of the screen when deep in a dir structure. (My Java packages have long names!)

What I would like is a ":ProjectSelect myProj" command in eclim, that just focuses the window on the project (with tab completion for project names in the working dir) that works like :ProjectTab, but doesn't open the Project Tree, allowing me to fire up NerdTree instead.

Maybe there is a way of doing this already - please correct me if I'm missing something!

Thanks.

The latest version of eclim now has the ability to disable the auto
opening of the project tree when running :ProjectTab[1]

let g:EclimProjectTabTreeAutoOpen = 0

You can combine that with a custom command to auto open nerd tree
instead:

command -nargs=1 -bang
\ -complete=customlist,eclim#project#util#CommandCompleteProject
\ ProjectSelect :call <SID>ProjectSelect('<args>')
function s:ProjectSelect(project)
exec 'ProjectTab ' . a:project
NerdTree
endfunction

Awesome! Thanks.

I prefer NerdTree as well.  My solution has been to use session.vim to save sessions, which will save the current directory in NerdTree, as well as any buffers you want to have open when you load the session later.
