Another Vim Eclipse Project : vimplugin project
David Terei
There has always been another project out there trying to achieve the
same aim as us. vimplugin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vimplugin/).
This project has been pretty much dead but very recentley there has been
some renewed activity with a new developer coming a long and starting
talks of reviving the project.
I sent them an email about our project since it would be best for us all
to work together.
Please read the emails below, or read them from the web archive at:
Best regards,

[vimplugin-devel] Current state of the project
From: Sebastian Menge <sebastian.menge@un...> - 2007-09-18 16:09
Hey guys.
I'm very sorry, that I didn't had the time to push the project forward
last year. I started with much energy, but lost it over time. The
request of Martin came at the right moment.
Over the last year I saw that there is enough potential in the community
to bring this on. Bram has this on his list and there is Nageshwar who
has done good work on this in the google Summer of code. There were a
couple of people that dropped by this project and left again, because it
got stuck at a very alpha level.
I admit, I didn't care enough about community building. But this project
has much potential and I cannot do everything on my own. So let's revive
the project once more. I will try to get Nageshwar back on board, and
then we need to develop a plan for the coming time.
There are some prototypes then, and we have to merge them together to a
fairly usable "product". I'm getting excited again :-)
Thanks for your support,
Sebastian.

I have added my current release of the gvim Plugin for alpha testing:
http://vimplugin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vimplugin/branches/gvimplugin
Sebastian: maybe you can help me in creating a downloadable version.
The current version will start gvim with the file selected. It does
not embed itself into eclipse (I heard rumours that this might be
possible). My plan is it to use the gvimplugin in conjunction with
eclim so have full two way communication between gvim and eclipse.

Hi Martin et al,
You may want to check out a project I'm part of,
http://code.google.com/p/eeedit/
This project was started during the Google Summer of Code very recently. It
has a fair amount of problems at the moment but it does support embedding
Vim into Eclipse (so the rumours you heard were correct :)). Although only
on Linux since the feature it uses of Vim to do this is only supported only
Linux (we have written a working patch for Vim though which adds this
feature to Windows).
We made use of code from vimplugin as a starting point and eventually
started a separate project since Sebastian was very hard to get hold of and
had seemed to abandon the project.
Not sure what your guys plans are exactly but thought I should just alert
you to us and open the communication channels.
Best regards,
David Terei

Yeah, I knew of the project and wanted to track it. I read some mails,
but now I see, that you two have done a really great job. The
screenshots are fantastic :-)
How can we join forces? We are at least four (more or less active)
developers: Martin, Nageswar, David and myself. That sounds like a fine
little team ...
And I'm sure there will be enough ppl for betatesting.. (about 40
members on this list atm).
Sebastian.

Do count me in. Of course the question arises: Google Code or Sourceforge.=

Anybody who uses both and can tell about advantages and dis-advantes.

Right, looking at the screen shots [1]: that's precisely what I am
looking for. Of course I would like to use an Eclipse with an Eclim
Server running in the background so communication between GVim and
Eclipse is two way.
Also: are you opening a new Gvim for each file? Because I don't - I use an
GVim Server which can open more the one file. GVim Server's are real cool.
Suggestion: make more advertising. I have have not found your project even
true I was looking for it.

Sadly I NEED Windows support. Do send the patch upstream to Bram.
