#1631 Is the eclipse plugin still available?

wangzaixiang Thu 1 Sep 2011

It looks the F4 eclipse plugin is not available on the website: http://www.xored.com/fantom

Is there anybody who know the status of the project?

We were planning to announce release candidate of next version tomorrow :-) Major improvements are:

  • switched to Eclipse 3.7
  • bugfixes
  • deeper integration with Java
    • significally reduced compilation time of pods with Java FFI
    • completion over Java FFI

However I just read that there's upcoming 1.0.60 build, so I think we will include support for these distro changes and make public release on the next week.

Right now F4 can be downloaded from our build system:

It is an exiting message, I like the F4 plugin and it works on my eclipse.

Thanks.

Ivan will the new version work with eclipse 3.6?

ivan Thu 1 Sep 2011

Yep, just installed it from update site into fresh eclipse-sdk-3.6.2.

One thing I really would like to have is the ability to refactor/rename classes, functions and variables.

yeah, formatting-refactoring-renaming are all great features, but it is unlikely we can make something here quickly. Before starting working on code writing features we want to make sure that we are good at basic things:

  • code reading features – compilation/dependency management, navigation (like type/call hierarchies, declaration/usage search, hyperlinks in stacktraces), completion, semantic highlighting and api doc bubbles
  • execution features – launching/debugging of mains/tests
