Welcome to Eclim ================== .. rst-class:: lead The power of Eclipse in your favorite editor. .. toctree:: :hidden: install gettingstarted gettinghelp vim/index development/index faq features cheatsheet changes contribute relatedprojects ================== What is it? ================== Eclim provides the ability to access Eclipse_ code editing features (code completion, searching, code validation, and :doc:`many more `) via the command line or a local network connection, allowing those features to be integrated with your favorite editor. Eclim provides an integration with Vim_, but :doc:`third party clients ` have been created to add eclim support to other editors as well (emacs, sublime text 2, textmate). There are two primary usage scenarios in which eclim is designed to be used: .. image:: images/diagrams/use_cases.png #. The :ref:`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. #. The :ref:`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. Eclim is released under the GPLv3_. ======================== How do I get/install it? ======================== You can follow the :doc:`eclim install guide ` which will walk you through downloading and installing eclim. ================ How do I use it? ================ After you've installed eclim, you can refer to the :doc:`getting started ` page which will walk you through creating your first project. ===================== Where can I get help? ===================== .. include:: /gettinghelp.rst :start-after: begin-help :end-before: end-help ====================== How do I report a bug? ====================== .. include:: /gettinghelp.rst :start-after: begin-report-bug :end-before: end-report-bug =========== What's New? =========== Nov 10, 2021 ------------- A new version of eclim is now available with support for Eclipse 4.21 (2021-09). - :ref:`Eclim 2.21.0 <2.21.0>` Jan 09, 2021 ------------- A new version of eclim is now available with support for Eclipse 4.18 (2020-12). .. note:: Several features have been removed from eclim.
