Lua Development Tools (LDT) is about providing Lua developers with an IDE providing the user experience developers expect from any other tool dedicated to a static programming language. Like many other dynamic languages, Lua is so flexible that it is hard to analyze enough to provide relevant and powerful tooling. LDT is using Metalua, to analyze Lua source code and provide nice user assistance. LDT is an Open Source tool, licensed under the EPL. Visit Lua Development Tools web page for more information, and make sure you are encouraging the development team by favoriting LDT on the Marketplace!

In reply to Installation Error by Martin Jeung
LDT is still working but it is not maintained anymore.
It depends on old version of dtlk. So to make it works you need to also add "update-site" of an old dtlk version repository, e.g :
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/updates-dev/5.6/
See : https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/ldt/ldt/-/issues/2 for more details.
