Description : Integration between the eclipse IDE and the VIM text editor
The primary goal of eclim is to bring Eclipse functionality to the Vim
editor. Support for various languages (c/c++, java, php, python, ruby,
css, html, xml, etc.) is included.
Eclim provides an Eclipse plug-in that exposes Eclipse features through
a server interface, and a set of Vim plug-ins that communicate with
Eclipse over that interface. This functionality can be leveraged in
three primary ways, as illustrated below.
1. The first scenario is for those for which vim is their primary
editing interface. In this scenario you run a headless instance of
eclipse which all vim instances can then communicate with to
provide the various eclipse features.
2. The second scenario is for those who prefer using vim as their
main interface, but frequently end up jumping back to eclipse for
any features not provided by eclim. In this case you can run the
eclim server inside of the eclipse gui and then interact with it
via external vim instances just like the first scenario.
3. The last scenario is for those who wish to use the eclipse
interface full time, but want to use gvim as an embedded eclipse
editor. Just like the previous use case, the eclim server is run
inside of the eclipse gui and the embedded gvim will interact with
it just like external vim instances would.
