Breaking news.

This plugin is now deprecated. I have joined forces with a couple of other developers who were also working on an eclipse plugin. I have already ported all functionality to the new repo - as well as have already added enhancements. (https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-eclipse).

Please visit the plugin site to find out how to install it. (http://cukes.info/cucumber-eclipse/)

Screenshots

Example of how syntax highlighting in various languages looks

Installation

Easy install and uninstall

• Download the jar file and copy into your Eclipse plugin directory to install (You can find the jar file now in the downloads sections)
• Delete the jar file from the Eclipse plugin directory to uninstall

Hacking instructions

• Given you have checked out the code.
• And you have created an empty plugin project in Eclipse.
• And you have imported the folders into that project (overwrite mode)
• Then you will have the code to hack with

Please feel free to fork and send pull requests.

Stream of Consciousness

This plugin is intended to provide not only syntax highlighting; but also to work well with the cucumber-jvm code.

I am doing this to enjoy using cucumber-jvm more effectively and also with more fun. If you want to leverage off the stuff I am doing; fork the code and send pull requests. I am unlikely to do anything that I don't want personally for myself as I am a busy man with a family to feed. just begun.

So it goes...

gherkin-eclipse-plugin's Issues

"tags" and "outline words" terminology

The terminology in the code is a bit confusing as sometimes it refers to both "@tag" and things between a "<" and a ">" as a tag.
Refactor the code to make it clearer. Find out what nomenclature to use for things between a "<" and a ">" in order to do this.

make plugin jar easily available

Currently to get the jar you have to set up the code as if you are going to develop on it.
Should be easy for people who want to use it to just download a jar and drop into plugin directory.

Improve test scaffolding

Using jmock, retrofit tests to the code. Currently only tests to learn how to use gherkin.I18n are in place.

add highlighting for the following syntax

tags
comments
place holders
And key word
Scenario Outline keyword

Downloads section will be removed by github

It will be impossible to download the .jar file in the near future: https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads

Could you update your README.md to explain how to generate the jar file or add a link to a documentation to explain this ?

Regards.

Add I18N

The Gherkin jar has an I18n class you can use to get keywords at runtime. It can also determine the language of a file based on the language header, allowing you to automatically pick the correct keywords. Use this to make the plugin I18nised.

Auto-complete

Good afternoon,

This plugin has auto-complete?

Thanks.

Make syntax colouring configurable

Default to how the cucumber team is recommending.
Allow away for a user to override if the user desires
