First alpha of Apex Editor LS released

Apex Editor LS is an alternative eclipse editor plugin. This release is quite limited in features, but demonstrates solid groundwork for future development. My goal is to bring some of the Java tools' goodness to Apex. See the plugin's home page at http://www.multimodus.hr/apex-editor-ls.html

I'm always interested in different tools to help write APEX more efficiently.  What differentiates your IDE plugin from the native Force.com IDE?  I checked out your website and couldn't find a feature list...

For an announcement about the features, check out the Google groups. There is a link at the site.

Sorry for not being well organized at this moment, this is an early alpha.

What feature would you like see implemented next?

Released 1.0.2. The plugin can now be installed from an update site. To use the update site, remove the plugin from the plugins directory, restart eclipse, and in Help->Install new software type in this URL into the "Work with" field: http://www.multimodus.hr/apex-editor-ls-update. Other improvements include: auto insert braces when completing method names and less NPEs when invoking content assist :-)

Hi Kresho,

It is mentioned in the website as below:

The plugin works with Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo). Eclipse 3.6 is not supported. The Force.com IDE plugins are needed for this plugin to be useful.

 

 

Force.com IDE for Eclipse 3.7 is not yet released, plz help with Apex Editor LS installation.

 

Thanks.,

Asif

Hi Asif,

 

I have installed the current Force.com IDE in Eclipse 3.7 with no problems. Do you have any issues installing the IDE in 3.7?

 

Regards,

Kresho
