Re: Eclipse plugin for Brightscript

Just installed the update. Looks fine. There's one minor issue with the "Content Assist" feature. You need to press "Ctrl+Space" before entering any letters. If you enter a few letters and then press them, it will start searching for the keywords using the letters entered after Ctrl+Space. For example:

Works:
1. Press Ctrl+Space
2. Enter: "creat"
3. Found "CreateObject" and "CreateDirectory"

Does not work:
1. Enter: "creat"
2. Press Ctrl+Space
3. Found "app..."
4. Enter "p", now it is found the keywords starting with "p"

Good catch and thanks for the heads up.
I'll look into it.

Re: Eclipse plugin for Brightscript

I have the same issue with the eclipse plugin. It is not showing up and therefore I cannot associate the brs file extension with it.

The version I have been using is
Version: 3.6.1
Build id: M20100909-0800

Running on a Mac Lepoard OSX ( is this a Mac only issue - maybe?)

I'd be happy to look into it, but I don't own a Mac, so it requires a bit of assistance on your part:

Please open up the Error Log view and look for any stacktrace (i.e. double-click each error in the table to see the associated stacktrace) that has "com.domhain" or "org.eclipse.dltk" in it.
Take screenshots of those stacktraces that match and PM them to me please.

Yeah, it appears to work as expected on Windows installations.

However, there are now two known instances of Mac users that can't see any of the plugin's features, which leads me to suspect there's a platform dependency/bug in one of the plugin's dependencies -
i.e. another plugin or core eclipse code (I've verified my plugin code itself does not have any platform-specific assumptions). My guess is that the problem is in the DLTK tookit plugins which I rely on, but I can't begin to debug it until someone with a Mac sends me the associated stacktraces in the error view/log.

Re: Eclipse plugin for Brightscript

I will forward you a copy of the error log this evening from the Mac version.

Just for completeness as I have bootcamp on the Mac I loaded the plugin onto the Windows partition and it worked great.

Re: Eclipse plugin for Brightscript

Ok, just ran Eclipse again and there is nothing under "com.domhain" or "org.eclipse.dltk" showing an error. The only errors are for key binding conflicts and some proxy errors for the main eclipse update download location.
