Eclipse plugin for Brightscript
I've thrown together a quick and dirty Eclipse plugin containing a very basic BrightScript file editor with syntax coloring and tab/indent preferences only. It's beta quality and doesn't have the bel...

The plugin has been updated and posted to the update site http://www.domhain.com/eclipse/updates .
Just a reminder, but this is an eclipse plugin install-compatible site URL, so your best bet is to add it to your "Available Software Sites" in Eclipse (Help->Install New Software...->Add...) and then add the URL and give it a site name.
Once the site is selected, the BrightScript feature category should just show up.
Then you've got the usual advantages of automatic and over-the-wire updates, and plugin dependency checking and resolution.
Changes for this version (1.0.1.201008241730) are:
a) Support for Eclipse version 3.6 (Helios)
b) Many new syntax categories and keywords for those new categories (based on mainmanc's original list for EditPlus - thanks!)
c) Removal of unused elements in both the Editor and Syntax Coloring BrightScript preferences dialogs.
d) Removal of single quotes as string delimeters
e) Use of one of the SDK example source files in the Syntax Color Preview window in Syntax Coloring Preferences dialog (Window->Preferences->BrightScript->Editor->Syntax Coloring).
The example file for (e) above is not ideal for the task, so I'll probably be changing that out in the next rev.
If anyone wants to try to provide a brief but illustrative example file to demonstrate all the new syntax categories, I'll include it in the next update.
I'll also update the words list for each of the categories in the next rev with any missing words, so please let me know if you find a keyword that's not being colored for any given category.
Cheers
