antonj / emacs-eclim

This project brings some of the great eclipse features to emacs developers. It is based on the eclim project, which provides eclipse features for vim.

Overview

Eclim is an Eclipse plugin which exposes Eclipse features through a server interface. When this server is started, the command line utility eclim can be used to issue requests to that server.

Emacs-eclim uses the eclim server to integrate eclipse with emacs. This project wants to bring some of the invaluable features from eclipse to emacs.

2. download emacs-eclim

3. add the following code to your emacs startup script

    ;; only add the vendor path when you want to use the libraries provided with emacs-eclim
    (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/coding/git/emacs-eclim/vendor"))
    (require 'eclim)
   
    (setq eclim-auto-save t)
