When I try to install the Eclipse plug-in I get the following error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Basic BrightScript Support 1.0.1.201009051518 (com.domhain.brightscript.plugin.basic.feature.group 1.0.1.201009051518)

Can you provide a bit more detail? Such as:

1) The full error message(s)
2) The method of install (manual unzip/drop-in or via Eclipse's install manager)
3) Which specific base package and version of Eclipse you are using

Cheers

This is my full error message when trying to install the advanced version. I uninstalled the basic one first.

1.

2. Used Eclipse's installer under Help | Install New Software...

3. My eclipse build ID is: 20100218-1602, Eclipse EE, 3.5.2

If I want to go back to the basic one for now, what's the URL?

Makes sense - the error message indicates that I inadvertently specified the eclipse 3.6 version of a supporting plugin as the minimum version for the BrightScript advanced plugin.
I'll correct that (by lowering the minimum dependent version to 3.5) with an updated plugin within the next day or so.
Until then, Eclipse 3.5 versions will get the error message you got on attempted install.

what are you considering for a license price when the time comes... before I get too cozy with it?

Not sure just yet - still researching comparables, gauging the likely ongoing development and support effort, etc.
It's a SWAG at the moment, but I'm thinking of somewhere in the $25-$99 range (includes support and upgrades).

Thanx a lot !
Great job
I started learn BS few days ago )
In notepad it was very hard, and here you are for Eclipse - awesome!

This plug-in will really help me

Any chance for a How To guide on using Eclipse with Brightscript? Once I got Eclipse working, I tried loading my project into it, but whenever I clicked on a project file from within Eclipse, it just launched my current editor (JEdit). The plugin installed fine, but I don't see anything related to BrightScript in any of the menus.

Window | Preferences | General | Editors | File Associations.
Add an entry for *.brs if not already in there, and associate it with the Brightscript Editor.

You can also choose to open the file by right-click, Open With, Brightscript Editor (possibly under 'Other').

Cheers
