I’ve seen Veloedit, which seems to have good syntax highlighting but doesn’t allow tab characters in the file being edited (wtf?) and also has no understanding of HTML.
With a little bit of googling I’ve found Veloecipse, which claims to build upon Veloedit and also add HTML support – but doesn’t seem to be compatible with Eclipse 3.4.
Are there any other Velocity template editor plugins for Eclipse that anyone is using?
The ideal solution would have the following features:
- Syntax hightlighting of VTL
- HTML syntax highlighting as well
- Auto-complete of VTL syntax
- Allows tabs!
Update: see my answer below
Here’s an update: I’ve been using Veloeclipse and it works well, not sure what led to my original comment about not working with Eclipse 3.4 but I am definitely using it with 3.4 now. Veloeclipse works better than Veloedit and Velocity Web Editor, in my opinion.
