This plugin has a default setting to remove trailing white spaces while editing text. This can be annoying for specialized editing sometimes. To desactivate that setting go to menu Window/Preferences then to preference general/editor/anyedit tool/auto-convert then uncheck “Remove trailing whitespaces”
where is the eclipse update site for this? or your philosophy is that everything is perfect :))
Hey. not everything is perfect for sure, but we do not use update sites for now. We do publish updates on a regular basis, and are working on alternative to the update manager.
I know that there is a new version of anyedit, and it should be released in the next month here, as we are working on the Eclipse 3.2.2 rev.
Warning: After installing this plugin all my RCP plugin projects were not compiling anymore… I have not been able to make them compile again together with the AnyEdit plugin.
I am using eclipse 3.3 and the 3.3 plugin.
AnyEdit cannot not break any Eclipse application - if you have any issues with installation, contact the author, but do not add meaningless warnings here.
I do not know what you mean by that. Could you be more specific. We never had any issues at all with AnyEdit so far ever .
Can you file a bug or contact the author if you have a problem?
Great tool! We are using it since some time now (eclipse 3.2, 3.3) mostly for software development.
Have you planned to add a mode to select/copy/paste columns?
We found this feature (i.e. in UltraEdit) very helpful from time to time when e.g. deleting / copying columns from initializer-tables in .c/.cpp files is necessary.
(haven’t found a hint for such a feature in your tool or eclipse itself and some colleagues are nagging me for a way to do this in eclipse).
thanks
Uli
Works well. Question: it doesn’t seem to convery tabsspaces in commented lines - expected ? Would be nice if it would do that.
Thanks !
