Package: eclipse
Version: 3.2.1-4
Hi,
after successfully building the famous HelloWorld Java Application I
wanted to use eclipse as HTML editor so I installed the WebStandardTools
via SoftwareUpdates|FindAndInstall from Callisto.
Installation was successful, all expected Web-Features present.
Changed default editor for html to 'HTML Editor'.
But when I open an html - nothing happens (MouseCursor indicates
'pleaseWait') - eclipse is hung up.
So I reset the defaul editor for html back to WebBrowser an tried to
open the same html - works fine.
Then 'open with | Text editor' - works fine.
But 'open with | HTML Editor' - hangs up
The only file I was able to open was a small (Hello-World-like) html I
created within eclipse.
But existing htmls from different locations all crashed. It's all the
same, whether inside an Eclipse-WebProject or another Project or
anywhere from my Filesystem.
Can WST only handle files created within Eclipse? Do I need another
plugin? Should I use the eclipse from eclipse.org? Should I avoid the
plugins from Callisto? Did I miss a configuration issue?
(Gosh! With MS Vista coming I MUST MIGRATE TO LINUX and I need a working
IDE! Wonder if the PDT and CDT-plugins will work if the WST doesnt.
OK, bluefish will be fine for html, but C/C++ is too hard with bluefish.)
Greetings
