Is there a WiKiText editor plugin for reStructuredText under eclipse? When I edit a .textile file, I get various intelligent editing features (such as line folding) and a preview panel. I find that there are references to reStructuredText under various MyLyn packages, but after installing them I still can't find a reStructuredText editor. Is that because there isn't one?
Thanks. Kent
Probably this answer is too late, but yet it is worth to add it for future readers :)
There is an "official" list of editors here:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/links.html
One of the tools mentioned is the Eclipse plugin indeed:
http://resteditor.sourceforge.net/. I've been using it for few days only (I'm also researching in this direction now :) ), but so far so good.
P.S. I haven't been able to install the "color theme mapper" for that plugin - so should you have troubles installing that plugin - uncheck the "color theme mapper" when installing it from update site.
There is the ReST Editor plugin for eclipse.
It works really well and he provide an integration with Eclipse Color Theme (Use the update site to install the Eclipse Color Theme integration).
There is no ReST plugin, but you can make one yourself, as example using Colorer.
Colorer has an API for new language descriptions, and there's a plugin for Eclipse.
There's even an example on how to add new languages to Eclipse this way. It is very easy :-)
If you don't know the ReST syntax specifications, you can take these as a reference:
Plugin for GEdit
Plugin for VIM
You just need to translate these to the Colorer syntax and you'll have ReST highlighting in Eclipse.

I am looking for a modern, highly usable, single package IDE/wrapper for Eclipse (if such things exist). Something that would provide a wrapper to Eclipse and add some style, a nicer interface, better code highlighting, etc. Any suggestions?
Edit:
-Java
-Looking for a nicer "prettier" IDE with more visual features and code completions, etc.
-Should be able to install it on a live Eclipse install
Eclipse is one of the best IDEs in terms of code completion and refactoring features. If your concerns are mainly style, you can customize syntax coloring using the Preferences > Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring menu. Or check out color themes here.
If you want a different skin for Eclipse you could try here. There are also code visualization plugins and style warnings, but you need to be specific about what you want.
I'm not sure if it's going to give you everything you're asking for, but there is STS.
Aptana is pretty good, www.aptana.com

What IDE has better support for groovy, Netbeans or Eclipse?
Last additions to Eclipse integration with Groovy added almost everything needed to the old plugin (which lacked some features) so my points go to Eclipse.
Now the plugin is quite mature and updated very often (3 days ago last update). Key features taken from here:
Syntax highlighting
Type inferencing
Compile and run Groovy classes and scripts in Eclipse
Outline view for Groovy files
Auto-completion
Refactoring
Source code formatting
Basic debug support
Short answer
Eclipse
Longer answer
The Groovy-Eclipse plugin used to be unspeakably awful, but it has improved out of all recognition since version 2.X. If you want Grails (rather than just Groovy) support, the simplest option is to install the SpringSource Tool Suite (STS), which supports Groovy, Grails and lots of other products under the Spring portfolio.

I'm looking for a lua IDE on linux. The majority of suggestions I've seen so far are windows only.
I would have liked to use one of the Eclipse plugins for lua, but both of them -- LuaEclipse and LunarEclipse -- haven't been updated in nearly two years, and don't seem to work with Eclipse 3.5. If you have had any luck in getting lua working in Eclipse, I would be very interested.
From this question you could try the beta site for LuaEclipse and see if it works.
LuaEclipse 1.2 and earlier does not work with newer Eclipses.
LuaEclipse 1.3 "beta" definitely does work with Eclipse 3.5 on Linux (at least on my Ubuntu box).
Grab it here: http://luaeclipse.luaforge.net/preview/update-site
Also you may try LuaEclipse 2.0 beta (less stable): http://github.com/KINFOO/LuaEclipse/#readme
KDevelop also has some support for Lua (at least syntax highligting, which is enough in many cases).
Note also, that if you do not want an IDE, but merely an editor, you may use kate, gedit, SciTE and many other programmer's editors, available for Linux. Most of them support Lua out of the box (at least for syntax highlighting, some even have some rudimentary code completion).
Not to mention vim and emacs. :-)
You might investigate SciTE. Its available for both Windows and Linux, and is based on the Scintilla programmer's text editor component. It also supports scripting the editor in Lua, and can be used to debug Lua scripts.
I use gedit with some plugins. That gives me syntax highlighting. I have a console in another window.
It would help to know what particular functionalities you need from your IDE, besides that.

I've started to read the book "Code Craft" by Pete Goodliffe. The fourth chapter is about instruments that developer uses during his daily work; this chapter made me to review my work and I've seriously decided to make it easier with fully personalized IDE. Eclipse IDE is what I've started my learning from...
I've read documentation and found that it's really easy to do tasks routine from Eclipse. We are using Mantis for tracking tasks and it was great surprise for me to find out Mantis Connector for Mylyn.
Also I was pretty glad to see SVN client integrated into Eclipse IDE.
Also I've found UML2 tool for Eclipse, but was disappointed because there is no any graphic interface for building diagramms. (Or, maybe, I'm was searching in wrong place?)
What useful plugins do you use in your daily work?
How do you use Eclipse for collaboration in your team?
Do you have any links about intergration Eclipse IDE experience in dev. team?
Thank you!
If you do web development with Tomcat, the Sysdeo launcher plugin is handy. Also, it is definitely worth some time to learn the more important keyboard shortcuts. Good lists here and here (with a little overlap). Ctrl-Shift-R and Ctrl-Shift-T are especially vital when you have a large code base.
I use eclipse for Java, so that's pretty much the extent of my experience as far as languages go.
Subclipse (which I guess you are using) and the built in JUnit tool are the two things I use the most.
Also, hitting F3 will take you to the definition of a method, and F4 will tell you which classes implement a given interface.
Eclipse will also generate your getters and Setters (RightClick->source->Generate Getters/Setters)
My two favorite hotkeys in Eclipse are
control-alt-up/down : copy the current line or selected lines
alt-up/down : move the current line or selected lines
Get used to these two and your coding speed improves drastically!

I'm interested in writing eclipse plugins where do I start?
What resources have helped you?
I'm looking for:
1. Tutorials
2. Sites devoted to plugin development
3. Books
I have done quite a bit with an RCP application that made use of multiple plug-ins. This book helped me tremendously in all fronts: RCP framework and plug-in development:
http://www.amazon.com/Eclipse-Rich-Client-Platform-Applications/dp/0321334612
The book walks you through the development of a IM chat client using RCP and plug-in development.
Also the eclipse site and IBM have some pretty good tutorials, here is one: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecplug/
You can find a good step by step detailed tutorial here:
http://www.eclipsepluginsite.com/
Other tutorials:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-snippet/index.html?ca=dgr-lnxw16RichEclipse
http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html
A decent book, that I've used is "Eclipse: Building Commercial-Quality Plug-Ins".
The RCP book mentioned above is great
Also there are some older online articles on the eclipse site starting with http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-RCP-1/tutorial1.html. Unfortunately they are a bit out of date.
Eclipse's own Help contains a Platform Plug-in Developer Guide. It is a suggested reading in IBM's site.
I'm trying to build a plugin myself. After reading a little bit of "Eclipse Plug-ins" book I missed a more tutorial style writing. Vogella tutorial is quite good. After doing it, I started reading some Eclipse code (as described by Vogella in his tutorial). And now I found the Eclipse's Help resource.
Here's all the books available for developing Eclipse Plugins:
http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/books-index-req-view_subcat-sid-4.html
As Eclipse RCP is also based on plug-ins this might also help: Eclipse RCP Introduction
