I am using Eclipse Java EE with Vrapper for working on a Java/Scala project. Is it possible to get both syntax highlighting and vrapper (or any kind of vim editing) in regular eclipse?
You can install any plugin on any Eclipse version you want - the only requirement is that the requirement information a plugin holds are true. Each Eclipse version is just a set of plugins bundled together.
In your case, just download one of the prepackaged Eclipse versions, then install the Scala IDE (note, that at the moment only M3 works on Luna) and finally install Vrapper.
There is also eclim (http://eclim.org), a Vim/Eclipse plugin that lets you run Vim inside or alongside Eclipse and access some of the Eclipse features. But not all the Eclipse features are available from Vim, notably the debugger integration.

At least you should ensure you use Eclipse 3.7.1 (Indigo). Newer versions wont work so far since some incompatibilites have brought in but the plugin was never adapted to that.
I managed it to get jsuml working, although I'm still not able to parse my .js files in.
I have Eclipse IDE for Java EE packages installed. How can I add the C/C++ IDE to the current Eclipse install? Or is there a better way to do this?
Use Help > Install New software to open the Install dialog. There, you'll need to select the right update site from the drop-down list at the top. Depending on which version of Eclipse you have, it will most likely be Indigo or Helios.
After selecting the update site, the list below will populate with available features to install (be patient, it might take a minute). Look for the "Programming Languages" group in that list, expand it, and check the box next to "C/C++ Development Tools." If desired, you can also select the "incubation" features for C/C++ or CDT.
Click the Next button and follow the prompts to download and install CDT.
I use Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers, Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3RC2) on Ubuntu. Here are the steps I installed C++ plugins:
Help > Eclipse Marketplaces..
In Find input box, enter C++
Scroll down to locate Eclipse C/C++ IDE CDT 9.2 (Neon.2)
Click Install
Note: you may see different C/C++ IDE CDT version if you use a different version of Eclipse Java EE IDE
In addition to the steps above to follow, I want to share a side effect of installing C/C++ modules in Java EE Eclipse: your custom hotkeys may not work.
The fix is:
Try to "Restore command" in "Preferences" - "Keys".
If it doesn't help, you can try to close Java perspective and reopen it. That did the trick for me.
I noticed that when the installation finishes and we restart, we see a C++ welcome screen. I guess that after a installation of CDT, this perspective and its hotkeys takes precedence over Java perspective, thus, reopen Java perspective make Java hotkeys take precedence over C++. But it's more like a bug.
I use Eclipse daily in a VERY limited scope, I would consider myself an Eclipse newbie.
Update: I'm looking for a plugin for eclipse, not an external application (e.g. Notepad++)

I use eclipse for editing javascript files. I'm not a web developer, I develop custom applications for a popular web based ERP application and they're written in javascript. I use JSEclipse (I know it's old, but I still haven't found anything better, including Aptana) with Eclipse classic.
I do sometimes need to edit xml files and even less frequently the source of html files. Currently when I open these files in Eclipse they are displayed as just basic text. No syntax coloring and the Outline window has nothing to say about the doc. I've been googling for about 20 minutes and I'm having a hard time just finding a simple plug-in that I can use with my current installation that will provide syntax hilighting. I suspect there must be one out there, but my searches are missing it somehow...
I don't want to install a different version of Eclipse, I have 3 workstations configured with my environment and don't want to stir everything up. I tried installing the "Eclipse XML Editors and Tools" from the WebTools project but it failed out with several missing dependencies.
Here are the detailed error messages:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Eclipse XML Editors and Tools 3.2.4.v201103170600-7H7AFUaDxumQJOs8hggQZ6_jl1EOJGNlUsOsTM (org.eclipse.wst.xml_ui.feature.feature.group 3.2.4.v201103170600-7H7AFUaDxumQJOs8hggQZ6_jl1EOJGNlUsOsTM)
Missing requirement: Structured Source Editor 1.2.4.v201103231819 (org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui 1.2.4.v201103231819) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.jface.text [3.6.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
I'm concerned about starting a "dependency chase" and before I know it I've installed a handful of things that will have who-knows-what impact on things.
Does anyone know if a simple, lightweight plugin that I can install from the "Help > Install New Software..." tool in Eclipse?
Have you consider this one?
http://editorxml.sourceforge.net/
Best Regards!
The XML editor from the WebTools project is the way to go. Since you didn't post the exact problem that you encountered when trying to install this plugin, I cannot help you further. I suggest that when you encounter a problem installing a certain plugin that you post the following information:
The exact details of what you have installed. Base version is a start, but you should also include which package you installed and general description of other plugins you installed into it.
The exact error message you got during plugin installation.
BTW: Eclipse 3.5.0 is very old. Version 3.6.2 is out already and 3.7.0 is going to be out in a few days. At the very least, you should run search for updates and move to version 3.5.2.
Update: Based on the provided error information, it looks like you are trying to install the version of XML editor that goes with Eclipse 3.6. Make sure that you install from the following repository and disable "check other repositories" option in the install dialog.
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/
If you accept editors outside of Eclipse (I had to read the whole story to see "plugin"...), I just use SciTE, and Notepad++ should do a similar job.
For real XML editing, I found Exchanger XML Editor to be quite efficient.
Shouldn't Eclipse be able to edit XML natively? It should colorize them if they are in a project, I think. I should try...
[EDIT] Indeed, it works. But I use Eclipse Helios for Java developers, perhaps it has some goodies from a base Eclipse.
In my configuration, it opens by default XML files in outline mode. Strangely, if I open them with a text editor, I have no syntax highlighting. I have that with the Ant editor, but then it will report errors (probably checking the DTD/schema).
Free, opensource. Works with 4.5. http://www.gstaff.org/colorEditor/
LiClipse (http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse) provides a lightweight XML editor that provides syntax highlighting just fine.
-- i.e.: it's target is exactly providing lightweight editors for a many languages in Eclipse (note that it's commercial)
I have a Java project and a C project. I would like to use the Eclipse IDE to work on each project. To accomplish this I ended out downloading a version of ecliplse for C and a version for Java. Seems like I should only need 1 ide and then "switch perspectives" when I switch to work on a different project. However, the "Java" perspective is not available in the dropdown when the C version of eclipse is running, and vica-versa.
Do I really need two ides?
Download one IDE. Go to the Eclipse Marketplace and install the other one. It will have both plugins installed for a single Eclipse IDE installation.
No,
you can easily install the CDT features in a Java version of eclipse, or vice-versa, but I would add C++ to Java.
Once the features are installed the C++ projects can be opened and it is indistinguishable from the prepackaged version.
There is no magic there.
Help --> Install New Software --> Select helios repository (with a version indicator)
wait till the package list appears
Open the Programming Languages folder and select the CDT packages.
Typically eclipse complains so;e dependencies are missing, so select those too and it'll install.
