I see there is no shortage of grumbling about word wrap in Eclipse in general! So I will be specific.

I have installed the word-wrap plugin from ahtik.com (yesteday, so the latest version), and I see the word-wrap option appearing in the context menu when I right-click. However, when I select it, the text seem to wrap momentarily, before immediately going to back to being unwrapped.

The same thing happens when I do Ctrl + Alt + w (obviously), and it happens no matter whether I change the settings to hard or soft wrap, or which combination of the word-wrap buttons I have toggled press (why are there two of these by the way??).

Any help much appreciated...this is really ruining my enjoyment of a wonderful editor!

PS - I'm using Version 4.2.0 of Eclipse on a Windows 7 PC. At present I only use it for Texclipse.

Your best chance at getting help would probably be to ask at ahtik.com since the plugin you are using is provided by them.

Thanks! I did just that, and he kindly gave me a fix the very next day. (I am reposting here what I wrote in the topic I just started, in case someone has the same problem and stumbles across this in a google search):

The way to fix it as follows:

Look up the texlipse plugin location. This will probably be in the Eclipse folder, and the address will probably end: ...\eclipse\plugins\net.sourceforge.texlipse_1.5.0.

Backup the plugin.xml file there just in case, and then edit the original by deleting the following chunks of code:

-Firstly, the "action" (starting at line 843):

action

class="net.sourceforge.texlipse.actions.TexWordWrapAction"
definitionId="net.sourceforge.texlipse.commands.texWordWrap"
icon="icons/wrap.gif"
id="net.sourceforge.texlipse.actions.texWordWrap"
label="W&rap text"
menubarPath="net.sourceforge.texlipse.menus.latex/latexGroup"
style="toggle"
toolbarPath="latexGroup"
tooltip="Use word wrap"


-Secondly, the "command" (starting at line 972):

command

categoryId="net.sourceforge.texlipse.latexEditingCategory"
name="Wrap text"
id="net.sourceforge.texlipse.commands.texWordWrap"

(When you have done this, the file should be 1257 lines long, instead of 1271. I have also attached the edited plugin.xml file to this post if you want to use it).

Finally, Ahti says: "Start eclipse with -clean command line argument to force reloading of plugin.xml." (Personally I had no idea how to do this, so I just removed and reinstalled his plugin, then exited Eclipse, and edited the code before I restarted it).

The function should work fine now. Hope this helps someone. And thanks again Ahti!

Hi Smile

I just wanted to tell you that I wrote a fix for the problem with the current Eclipse Juno release regarding word wrapping and the line numbering.

As a response to bug #35779 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=35779) I rewrote Ahtis plug-in to make it work with the latest Eclipse version and fixed the line number column Smile Please take a look at my project website for this plug-in and the fix: dev.cdhq.de/eclipse/word-wrap/

I hope my work will help someone because it is really useful in combination with the TeXlipse plug-in I use. I appreciate any feedback. Smile

Kind regards
Florian/ColdDevil
