Issues / Quirks
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
Some portions of eclim make use of the editing APIs provided by
|
|
Eclipse. While this makes for much cleaner code and far fewer chances
|
|
of errors while trying to accomodate everyone's coding style, or other
|
|
issues, it does have its drawbacks:
|
|
|
|
- Undo:
|
|
|
|
When changes to the source file are made outside of Vim, the plugin
|
|
must issue an :edit on the file to force Vim to re-read the now
|
|
updated file. The downside is that Vim clears the undo tree when
|
|
the file is re-read.
|
|
|
|
I have had an email exchange with Bram regarding this issue and he
|
|
has added an entry to the vim todo list to as a result:
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
See ":e" as a change operation, find the changes and add them to the
|
|
undo info. Needed for when an external tool changes the file.
|
|
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
Until that change is made to vim, you can still revert your file
|
|
using the local history (|vim-common-history|) support.
|
|
|
|
7. Formatting (tabs vs. spaces):
|
|
|
|
When inserting new code eclim will always use tabs and the
|
|
corresponding Vim plugin will issue a :retab on the new code so that
|
|
the user's Vim settings will reformat the code to the user's chosen
|
|
preference. However, Eclipse gets in the way a little bit here.
|
|
Eclipse defaults to tabs for all indentation, so if that is how your
|
|
Vim options are setup then you probably don't have anything to worry
|
|
about.
|
|
|
|
If you instead have Vim setup to expand tabs to spaces, then you may
|
|
encounter times when Eclipse will insert the code with no
|
|
indentation.
|
|
|
|
To resolve this you will need to edit some eclipse settings:
|
|
|
|
Using vim:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the eclim settings (global: |:EclimSettings| or project
|
|
level: |:ProjectSettings|)
|
|
|
|
2. Edit the indentation settings to match your vim options:
|
|
|
|
JDT -> org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.*
|
|
|
|
Using Eclipse:
|
|
|
|
1. Shutdown eclimd.
|
|
|
|
2. Open Eclipse.
|
|
|
|
3. Under the "Window" menu choose "Preferences"
|
|
|
|
4. Expand the "Java" node and then the "Code Style" node in the tree
|
|
on the left.
|
|
|
|
5. Click on the "Formatter" item under the "Code Style" node.
|
|
|
|
6. Click the "New" button to create a new formatter profile (I named
|
|
my "eclim") and then click "OK".
|
|
|
|
7. When the "Edit Profile" window comes up, you should be on the
|
|
"Indentation" tab where you can edit the tab policy. Change it
|
|
to match your Vim settings (note: using Mixed may or may not work
|
|
all the time). When using "Spaces only" be sure to set the
|
|
"Indentation size" and "Tab size" to your preference.
|
|
|
|
This should fix any known indentation issues, but if you encounter
|
|
any other problems just send me a sample file along with your Vim
|
|
and Eclipse settings so that I can attempt to reproduce and fix the
|
|
problem.
