Using ECF shared editing with Python [message #515802]

I can use the shared editing feature of ECF with Java fine perfectly fine. When I try to do it with Python files it also works, but there is no syntax highlighting.

I installed PyDev to get syntax highlighting, but then the context menu does not have the "share editor" option. I removed PyDev and the option came back. I installed Dynamic Languages Toolkit in hopes that its Python syntax highlighting was compatible and I got the same effect (context menu lacks the "share editor" option).

Is there a way to have a shared editing session with Python files and syntax highlighting?

Hi,

ECF shared editing should be enabled for each editor individually.
Please, contact the ECF team and ask them to support DLTK editors.

For example for DLTK Python the appropriate code is:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
      <menuContribution
            locationURI="popup:#PythonEditorContext">
         <dynamic
               class="org.eclipse.ecf.internal.example.collab.EditorCompoundContributionItem"
               id="org.eclipse.dltk.example.ecf.collab.pythoneditorcontribution">
         </dynamic>
      </menuContribution>
   </extension>

You can try the sample plugin http://dl.dropbox.com/u/159914/org.eclipse.dltk.ecf.collab_1 .0.0.20100222-1547.jar (put it to your plugins folder).

Regards,
Alex

So I just copy that file into the plugins directory and I should get the menu option?

I copied it, but I still get nothing.

I tried to install it and got this error:
