The Wordfile Editor is a stand-alone, ersatile and easy to use Eclipse editor for all text based programming languages. It is the ideal text, XML, HTML, PHP, Java, Javascript, Perl, and programmer's editor. Beside an elaborate syntax highlighting the editor supports additional features, such as code folding and content assistants.
The Wordfile Editor is a free and powerful text editor for Eclipse. Internally it is based on the great IDM UltraEdit and the concept of UltraEdit wordfiles for syntax highlighting, trying to adopt UltraEdit's philosophy for the Eclipse workbench. The editor does not require UltraEdit to work.
The editor supports any UltraEdit wordfile configuration. Therefore highlighting literally every programming language is possible. Also the code folding and content assistants are based on the wordfiles inputs. The editor comes with a set of predefined wordfiles for:
- C/C++
- C#
- CSS
- HTML
- Java
- JavaScript
- mySQL
- Perl
- PHP
- Ruby
- VBScript
- VisualBasic
- XML
... further wordfiles can be either created manually or downloaded from the manufactures' homepage.

WFE installed but not visible in UI
I had similar problems to the ones mentioned above (WFE installed but not visible in GUI) on Windows 7
After some debugging I found out, that the bundle status was only "Installed" where it should be active (Installed software -> Tab 'Configuration')
...
de.ksquared.eclipse.wordfileeditor (1.4.1) "WordfileEditor" [Installed]
...
With help from 'http://wiki.eclipse.org/Where_Is_My_Bundle' I found out that in my case the problem was that WFE only runs with Java 1.7 and I had on my machine at work (no admin rights) only Java 1.6.
osgi> diag 486
reference:file:plugins/de.ksquared.eclipse.wordfileeditor_1.4.1.jar [486]
Direct constraints which are unresolved:
Missing required capability Require-Capability: osgi.ee; filter="(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=1.7))".
It is a pity it is so difficult to find this problem, when with the right commands it seems to be so easy to view in OSGI.
Installing Java 1.7 (or in my case jPortable and telling Eclipse (via Eclipse.ini) to use this install) and everything works fine.

Wordfile Editor on Mountain Lion
The editor installed without issue. The "What's Installed?" view shows that it is installed. But I can't access it or use it. If I view the properties of a file, there is no Wordfile option in the left menu dialog. All this on Mac running Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Eclipse 4.2.1, Wordfile Editor 1.4.1.
As a test I did clean install on Windows 7 of Eclipse 4.2.1 and Wordfile Editor 1.4.1 and it works very nicely. No issues.
I use a very focused in-house language and with this plug-in I can use a UEdit wordfile I created many years ago. Saves me having to go down the XText path... for now.
But I mostly work on a Mac so if anyone has an idea how to get this working on a Mac... it will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
J.
wrapper
Thanks for a nice addition to eclipse. I think it would be more useful if your plugin acted as a wrapper so it could add functionality to the editor of your choice.

syntax highlight colors not changeable
Hi,
I changed the colors of my editor in eclipse (via the eclipse color theme plugin), but it seems the background color of syntax-highlighted text in wordfile editors is not changeable. Is that/will that be possible? I can provide a screenshot if you like.
I'm running eclipse juno (4.2.1) with wordfile editor 1.4.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion), and apart from this issue, the wordfile editor runs just great, thnx for the great plugin :)
N.B. I couldn't find an issue site, so posting it here instead
Sincerely,
Anton Zeef
Installs but no editor
1.4.1 seems to install on Eclipse 4.2 and 3.7.1 but Wordfile editor is nowhere to be found.
Also update site should be:
ksquared.de/wfe/eclipse/update/site.xml
WFE installs, but is not visible
I also couldn't find WFE after installing it in Eclipse 4.2. It installed without trouble, but doesn't appear in "Open with" or "Preferences" at all. I've gone to the WFE help site, but I didn't find anything there to help with this problem. I went to the developer's contact page to submit a support request:
http://ksquared.de/support/
I'm waiting for a reply now. I would like for this to work, since it claims to support Zope DTML files.
Hello,
Hello,
thanks a lot for your feedback and you comments. I am very happy that you want to use my plugin for your development. I am currently trying to reproduce your issues to fix the problem. I will update the plugin soon. I think latest end of next week.
Regards,
Kristian
eager for a DTML editor
I'd welcome an update to the WFE extension, or some advice about how to use it. I presume it wouldn't have been released if it didn't work, so I think the problem might be conflicts between it and the other few extensions I have installed.
doesn't work without other extensions, either
FYI: I thought that since I still have the download file for Eclipse from eclipse.org, I would try running it and install only WFE. That should prove whether the problem I've seen is a conflict with other extensions.
The Eclipse I installed was downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-42/junor . From there, I clicked the link for "Mac OS X(Cocoa 64)", which downloaded the file eclipse-SDK-4.2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz. I started it, added the WFE update site URL in the installer window, restarted Eclipse (twice; I even quit it completely and gave it a "cold" start), but I don't see any sign of WFE in the UI. It appears in "Installation Details" under "About Eclipse", but nowhere else.
I'm beginning to suspect WFE works only on Windows, not Mac OS X. :P
WFE on Linux
I'll chip in here to say that I experienced the same issue of a "clean" installation, but no evidence of the application when running on Linux in Juno.
No errors in the log files indicating WFE is unhappy or causing problems. It's just not there.
Would love to try it out.
Thanks.
