It seems that line numbering fix is not working in the new Eclipse (4.4). At least it does not change anything when you get it from the Kepler's update site (http://dev.cdhq.de/eclipse/updatesite/kepler/).
Could you please have a look (if you have some free time, of course)?
What you think of, instead of wrap the text in the window edges define a new attribute for the line width?
I always use eclipse showing print margin. This help-me when i'm coding in Java (or other language) to not create a too wide line. If my code exceeds the margin line I now that is better split it into two or more lines with good indentation (for readability).
But when i'm writing a text (in latex with texlipse) the margin line looks very annoying. Other reason is that, I always use the editor window in a full-screen mode (to avoid distractions) and the text line is too big (isn't readable).
I know these seem very personal reasons. But i think that this will be good features (at least for me) :)

Aware current release intended for Kepler but thought worth noting the issue in hope its simple to resolve (good time also to say good job on word wrap feature! Thanks)
It would be really good and maybe more maintainable long term if you can work with Eclipse maintainers to embed this directly into the platform (@vogella seems to be a good contact)?
For example opening file 'Makefile' generates stack trace:

Embedded Word Wrap works only for limited number of file extensions. It does not work in css, js, twig files. Plugin from above repository worked in every editor.
Thanks for this great plug-in. I recently installed the Word Wrap Feature (0.1.4) and Line Number Ruler Fix (0.0.1) both for Luna 4.4. Though the line wrapping works fine, the line numbering does not. Attached I have the install details for my eclipse environment and 2 screenshots; one is with line wrapping and the other without line wrapping. The screenshot with word wrapping does not properly utilize the line number ruler fix.
Please advise if I am doing something incorrect, or how I can get this to work with Luna 4.4.
Thank you for a great plugin and any help you can provide!
I'm using Word Wrap with Eclipse Luna on OSX, all works fine except one thing: any loss of focus from a tab with a ‘word-wrapped’ file turns the feature in that file off. That’s despite that all three ticks in preferences are checked and that word wrap by default works in a file, which is restored at eclipse launch.
The bug occurs not just when I switch between multiple files in tabs, but also when I focus on any other view, e.g. Package explorer or Search results. Thus, I sometimes have to press CMD+ALT+E a few times a minute, which is a bit distracting. Surprisingly word wrap does not disable itself when I switch to another app and then return to the same tab in Eclipse.
I installed the plugin for Luna from scratch and did all eclipse cleaning procedures described on the help page, but that gave no results.
