Editor Support /
Blackbird For Eclipse



Difference (last change) (Author, normal page display)

Changed: 22c22
I found that Eclipse can remember the associated program to open D file. If the eclipseD is used to open D file before, Eclipse uses eclipseD to open it. So remove eclipseD first and restart Eclipse. Eclipse will find blackbird to open D files. Then you can copy the removed eclipseD back again. But eclipse open D file using blackbird this time since it remembers blackbird as the associated program to open D file.

Installation tips (from NG:digitalmars.D.announce/949)

You may need to remove the original eclipseD first.

Apparently, development of blackbird has been halted due to its author's involvement with DDT (part of the EclipseD project at dsource.org) ( NG:digitalmars.D/30103, NG:digitalmars.D/30113, NG:digitalmars.D/30114).
