New in eclim 2.4.1 (Jan 23, 2015)

  • Install:
  • Fixed unattended installation.
  • Eclim:
  • Updated the search behavior across all eclim's supported languages to now use vim's quickfix list instead of the location list, and to only do so if there is more than one result.
  • Updated eclim's sign support for quickfix results to now be disabled by default.
  • Updated eclim's signs to use more unique ids to support multiple different sign types on a single line and to avoid clashing with other plugins that may be setting signs on the same lines as eclim.
  • Project:
  • Added a :ProjectRun command to invoke your project's eclipse run configuration.
  • Added :ProjectImportDiscover to bulk import projects from a common parent directory.
  • Java:
  • Added support for java debugging.

  • :EclimSettings renamed to :WorkspaceSettings to better reflect what is being edited.
  • Added :VimSettings command to make viewing/editing of eclim's vim client settings easier.

  • let g:EclimMakeDispatchEnabled = 0
  • Lot of bugs have also been fixed.
  • Scala:
  • Scala support is disabled in this release. I tried waiting for a final release of ScalaIDE 4.0.0 for Luna, but I don't want to hold up the rest of eclim any longer. If you want to use eclim's scala support, you'll need to install the ScalaIDE 4.0.0 milestone and build eclim from the master git branch.

New in eclim 1.7.19 (May 7, 2014)

  • Fixed issue with large portions of code being re-formatted when applying a correction suggestion.
  • TODO/FIXME markers are now ignored by validation.

New in eclim 2.3.0 / 1.7.17 (Jul 22, 2013)

  • Java:
  • NewJarEntry now accepts up to 3 arguments allowing you to create the jar entry with the path to the jar, path to the source, and the path to the javadocs.
  • On javadoc search, all results, including results found in jar files, will be fully translated to usable urls to be opened by vim instead of sending jar results back to eclipse to let it open them. With this change your chosen brower on the vim side will always be used.
  • Fix for import grouping by package on Kepler.
  • Php:
  • Reminder: The format of the h2 database used for php searching and code completion has changed in Kepler which may result in searching / code completion not returning any results, both in eclim and in the standard eclipse php editor. To fix this you'll need to stop eclipse, remove the old index, and then restart:
  • $ rm -r /.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.dltk.core.index.sql.h2/
  • Scala:
  • Updated to require 3.0.1 of the Scala IDE which now supports Kepler (for eclim 2.3.0 only). Since this version of the Scala IDE seems to only support Scala 2.10.x now, the option to install 2.9.x version has been removed, however the indigo release of eclim (1.7.17) still supports the Scala 2.9.x version of Scala IDE 3.0.0.
  • Xml:
  • XmlFormat now uses the DOM3 APIs to improve the formatted result, honoring your textwidth and indent settings.

New in eclim 2.2.7 / 1.7.16 (Jul 15, 2013)

  • Java:
  • Fix for some completions on Kepler.
  • Fix for rare case where an invalid classpath entry could result in the .classpath file reverted to the eclipse default.
  • :JavaCallHierarchy added to show the caller or callee hierarchy of a method.
  • Php:
  • Warning
  • The format of the h2 database used for php searching and code completion has changed in Kepler which may result in searching / code completion not returning any results, both in eclim and in the standard eclipse php editor. To fix this you'll need to stop eclipse, remove the old index, and then restart:
  • $ rm -r /.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.dltk.core.index.sql.h2/
  • Ruby:
  • Fixed the inserted completion text for some ruby libraries.
  • Scala:
  • The graphical installer now includes a compiled eclim sdt bundle for both scala 2.9.x and 2.10.x for which one will be chosen for you if you already have the scala-ide installed, otherwise you can pick one and the appropriate version of the scala-ide will be installed for you.
  • Vimplugin:
  • The option to force focusing of gvim with a simulated click is now disabled by default, but when enabled, it should be less likely to have unintended side affects.
  • Cygwin:
  • Performance optimization for user's with many projects.
  • Installer:
  • The installer will now properly shutdown eclimd instances registered using the old non-json format.
  • Docs:
  • Expanded the developer docs to include docs on creating new commands along with some of the basics for adding new eclim plugins.

New in eclim 2.2.6 / 1.7.14 (May 20, 2013)

  • Fixed eclimd to prevent incorrect addition of -d32 on 64bit systems, which prevents eclimd from starting.

  • Android:
  • Updated for ADT 22.0.0
  • C/C++:
  • :CCallHierarchy now support showing callee tree.
  • Java:

  • Scala support updated for Scala IDE 3.0.0.

New in eclim 2.2.5 / 1.7.13 (Nov 26, 2012)

New in eclim 2.2.4 / 1.7.12 (Nov 26, 2012)

  • Eclim:
  • Updated :ProjectTree and :ProjectTab to support an arbitrary directory as an argument, allowing you to use the command for project's not managed by eclipse/eclim. :TreeTab has been removed since the update to :ProjectTab makes it redundant.
  • Creation of projects in nested directories in the eclipse workspace (vs at the root of the workspace) is now properly supported through eclim.

  • Fix placement of some error markers.
  • Php:

  • Fixed C++ project creation to auto add the required C nature.
  • Fixed C/C++ issues introduced by the eclipse 4.2.1 release (project create/refresh and call hierarchy).

  • The vim option g:EclimJavaImportExclude has been replaced with the eclim setting org.eclim.java.import.exclude.
  • The vim option g:EclimJavaImportPackageSeparationLevel has been replaced with the eclim setting org.eclim.java.import.package_separation_level.
  • g:EclimJavaBeanInsertIndexed vim variable removed in favor of suffixing :JavaGetSet methods with '!'.
  • JavaCorrect, :JavaImpl, :JavaDelegate, :JavaConstructor, and :JUnitImpl all now perform their code manipulations using eclipse operations.
  • Initial support added for running :JavaSearch commands from source file results (library source files) not in a project.
  • g:EclimJavaCheckstyleOnSave replaced with the eclim setting org.eclim.java.checkstyle.onvalidate.
  • g:EclimJavaSrcValidate renamed to g:EclimJavaValidate.
  • JUnitExecute replaced with a new and improved :JUnit command.
  • Added the command :JUnitFindTest to open the corresponding test for the current file.
  • Removed :Javac command since eclipse's continuous incremental builds typically make the :Javac call a no op, and in cases where you need to induce compilation, :ProjectBuild does so in a language agnostic way.
