How to install eclim on Windows and use it through cygwin vim?

[Martin T.]

I can't figure out how to install eclim correctly in cygwin.

My cygwin is installed to E:\cygwin64

I have a JDK installation in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0

Which eclipse version do I need, the windows or linux one?

I tried the eclipse windows version.

When I use the installer do I just point it at the windows directories where eclipse and my .vim directory are (E:\cygwin64\opt\eclipse\ & E:\cygwin64\home\martin\)

How do I start the eclimd once the installation finished, there are only eclimd.bat and eclimd.cmd available.

Can I setup the daemon to start whenever vim opens a java file?

Is this a Windows version of eclipse that just happens to be installed
in your cygwin directory?

I'm assuming the .vim was inadvertently dropped from this path here,
but if not, make sure that you've installed the eclim vim files in a
supported vim runtime path.

You would start eclimd using either of those (the .cmd scripts are
being removed in the next version though). The eclim vim files have
logic in them to deal with converting cygwin paths to Windows paths
and vice versa so that the Windows version of eclipse and cygwin
version of vim can communicate. So basically you just use eclim as if
you were doing so using gvim for Windows and it should "just work".

This is not currently supported.

Yes, i just unzipped it there

I'm assuming the .vim was inadvertently dropped from this path here,
but if not, make sure that you've installed the eclim vim files in a
supported vim runtime path.

With the gui installer i have specified the vim installation directory manually (E:\cygwin64\usr\share\vim\vim74)

$ java -jar eclim_2.3.2.jar

You would start eclimd using either of those (the .cmd scripts are 

being removed in the next version though). The eclim vim files have

and vice versa so that the Windows version of eclipse and cygwin
version of vim can communicate. So basically you just use eclim as if
you were doing so using gvim for Windows and it should "just work".

Ater the installation finishes I start the batch file from my cygwin prompt
$ /opt/eclipse/eclimd.bat

I get a terminal window

And a Eclipse window
- No exit data available.

When I click OK in the eclipse window I get another eclipse window
- Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\..\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll".

When i click OK this and the terminal window close and nothing else happens.

This is the output from the installer

Sounds like something is wrong with your java installation. Can you
start the eclipse gui or other java applications using your jdk1.6.0
jvm?

Actually, the problem is most likely that your eclipse architecture
doesn't match your jvm architecture. Make sure both are either 64bit
or 32bit.

Yes, without any problems. Can i specify a different java version for eclim?

All the eclimd.bat file does is start eclipse with a different
application arg, so if you can start the eclipse gui, then eclimd
should start as well. They should both be picking up the same jvm.

> Can i specify a different java version for eclim?

On Windows eclimd simply calls the eclipse executable, so you can set
the jvm that eclimd uses by setting the jvm that eclipse uses:

[Martin T.]

Ok its starting now.

I specified JDK 1.7 64bit in the /opt/eclipse/eclipse.ini

:PingEclim

produces this output

eclim   2.3.2
eclipse 4.3.0

I had to reinstall eclim to the right places

Vimfiles
E:\cygwin64\home\r892107\.spf13-vim-3\.vim

Eclipse Home (windows version 64 bit)
E:\cygwin64\opt\eclipse

Specify 64 bit JDK if it's not the system default
E:\cygwin64\opt\eclipse\eclipse.ini
  -vm
  C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0/bin/javaw.exe

The new problem is that completion does not work. When I try this
System.<ctrl-x><ctrl-o>

I get the message
E764: Option 'omnifunc' is not set

This is my .vimrc.local

You may not have file type plugins enabled. Try running :EclimValidate
to see if it provides any info. If not, then post the results of
running the following while you have the java file you are testing
with open:

:set ft?
:verbose set completefunc?
:verbose set omnifunc?

[Martin T.]

:EclimValidate

does not return anything

:set ft?

  filetype=java

It should always print something. Check :messages

That's an odd one that I've never seen before.

I would try running vim with the bare minimum settings since something
in spf13 could be causing problems.

Since it looks like you installed the eclim vim files into the same
dir as the rest of spf13, I tried to construct the following command
to only load eclim... hopefully this works:

$ vim -u NONE -U NONE \
--cmd "set nocp | sy on | filetype plugin indent on" \
--cmd "let g:EclimBaseDir = '$HOME/.spf13-vim-3/.vim'" \
--cmd "exec 'so ' . g:EclimBaseDir . '/plugin/eclim.vim'" \
--cmd "let paths = glob(g:EclimBaseDir . '/eclim/plugin/*.vim')" \
--cmd "for p in split(paths, '\n') | exec 'so' p | endfor"

After running that, make sure :PingEclim works and then try editing
your java file again and checking:

:verbose set completefunc?

Then, assuming your java file is in an eclipse project, you can try
some code completion, but use <c-x><c-u> instead of <c-o>.

It should always print something. Check :messages

That's the result

Übersetzt von Georg Dahn <gor...@yahoo.co.uk>
"/cygdrive/e/workspace/CAMM/CAMM/amm-plugin/src/main/java/com/rwe/amm/plugin/sender/MessageSenderFactory.java" [noeol][dos] 58L, 1677C
Result: OK, required settings are valid.

Do i need to create a project with eclim to enable completition or can I just navigate into an existing project and edit the source files?

[Eric Van Dewoestine]

If your project shows up in the result of :ProjectList, then you
should be fine.

The project does not show up and :ProjectInfo outputs

Unable to determine the project. Please specify a project name or execute from a valid project directory

I am opening vim inside the directory with .project file that was created by eclipse.

Starting vim like this

$ vim -u NONE -U NONE \
  --cmd "set nocp | sy on | filetype plugin indent on" \
  --cmd "let g:EclimBaseDir = '$HOME/.spf13-vim-3/.vim'" \
  --cmd "exec 'so ' . g:EclimBaseDir . '/plugin/eclim.vim'" \
  --cmd "let paths = glob(g:EclimBaseDir . '/eclim/plugin/*.vim')" \
  --cmd "for p in split(paths, '\n') | exec 'so' p | endfor"

and executing that
 :verbose set completefunc?

outputs this
 completefunc=

Perhaps your workspace directory is not at the default location used
by eclim? During startup eclimd will print out the workspace it is
using, and you can change[1] that location if necessary.

Was this while editing a java file? Did you check that eclim was
loaded (:messages, :PingEclim)? The more details you give the faster
this will go.

If I were you I'd move spf13 out of the way and install the eclim vim
files into an empty ~/.vim directory so you can see that it works,
then start merging it into spf13 to try and figure out if spf13 (or
some other aspect of your vim environment) is the problem, and if so,
what part of it is the problem.

Okay,

Eclimd is running, I am inside a Project, completion starts

:PingEclim
eclim   2.3.2
eclipse 4.3.1

:ProjectInfo
Name:      ZMQ_Java
Path:      E:/workspace/zmq/ZMQ_Java
Workspace: C:/Users/r892107/workspace
Open:      true
Natures:   java

but completion complains

System.<ctrl-x><ctrl-o> // System cannot be resolved to a variable

:Validate

loc - (1 of 17): The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from reuired .class files
loc - (2 of 17): The import java.text cannot be resolved

and so on

[Martin T.]

The :Validation fails on a fresh installation of vim without using spf13

The only way I know to reproduce those validation errors would be to
have the following entry (which eclipse adds by default) missing from
your project's .classpath file:

<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>

If you do have that entry, then it would seem that eclipse is unable
to resolve your jvm (perhaps you have a custom one set for that
project?). This issue is not eclim specific, so you should have the
same validation errors if you open the same file in the eclipse gui.
Without access to your project and eclipse install I can't provide any
tips for resolving this aside from suggesting that you google[1] around
for cases where other users have had this problem with eclipse and how
they've resolved it.

My .classpath file had this entry

    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.6"/>

After changing it to

    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>

:Validate does not find any errors anymore

I also had to switch from neocomplcache to neocomplete to enable omnifunc:

let g:EclimCompletionMethod = 'omnifunc'

if !exists('g:neocomplete#force_omni_input_pattern')
  let g:neocomplete#force_omni_input_pattern = {}
endif
let g:neocomplete#force_omni_input_pattern.java = '\k\.\k*'

it now works even with spf13

Awesome! Thank you for your patience and hopefully you find eclim
worth the effort.

That's an odd one that I've never seen before.

I had the same problem. For me automatic view saving overwrote the omnifunc option. I solved it by not saving the options:

set viewoptions=cursor,folds,slash,unix
