Eclipse Community ForumsRe: Lack of classic text editor macros
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/1085638/1759805/#msg_1759805
I'm a newcomer to Eclipse and I do not know for sure if there is any built-in support for a similar feature. But Google pointed me to stackoverflow which said this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/103202/is-there-a-macro-recorder-for-eclipse - so I guess not.]]>Linus Sch2017-04-18T07:40:11-00:00Lack of classic text editor macros
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/1085638/1759755/#msg_1759755
I understand that modern editors make a lot of things, like parsing, incremental compiling, coloring, etc, and all this stuff is not compatible with text macros. Perhaps this is the reason why I don't find the way to install one.
But I'd like to suggest that that disabling any other stuff than just writing during the macro execution would be a simple way to implement it.
Anyone knows the way to install a macro text feature?
Thanks

To install eclim v.2.6.0 you need:
1. build-essential
The installer needs to build the interface executable.
2. Java 1.7 or 1.8, as required by your chosen version of Eclipse, as your default JRE
The installer somehow runs Eclipse (or parts of it) without regard for what your eclipse.ini file says about what vm to use. Make sure that when you run
java -version
in a random terminal you get the version number needed by Eclipse. Also note that gcj (as of July 2016) is likely to cause problems.
3. Eclipse Neon, also known as 4.6.x, tarball/zip version
It turns out the Eclipse installer creates a different file structure than the "old" way, which is to download a compressed folder and just unpack it where you see fit. eclim currently does not support the file structure created by the installer. To find the tarball/zip version of Eclipse look for "Download packages".
4. Vim, version 7.1 or later
If you want to run your editor inside Eclipse you'll need GVim. It is also possible to run Vim from a terminal and connect to Eclipse.
With all those in place just run the eclim installer and point it at your Vim and Eclipse install folders. If using pathogen.vim, creating bundle/eclim and pointing the eclim installer to that folder worked perfectly.]]>Linus Sch2017-04-19T21:33:50-00:00
