Description
In one line: Afae's goal is to be a Textmate like editor in Eclipse.
Afae stands for Another Freebooter's All-purpose Editor. It is a group of plugins for Eclipse that do the following:
- Syntax highlighting for many types of files. See the wiki for a complete list.
- MetaWeblog plugin for posting to your blog
- Keystroke comments
- An image viewer and basic re-sizer for GIF, JPG, ICO, and PNG
- Snippets inserter with trigger text and variable replacement.
- A while-you-edit XML DTD and XML Schema validator
- Much more...
This is the editor I've used for most applications I've written. Afae is heavily influenced by both jEdit and Textmate - both of which are fantastic editors. Aside from Xcode, TextMate, and Aquamacs this is the only development environment / editor I use.
Note: All Afae plugins now require at least Eclipse 3.2 and Java version 1.5 (aka 5.0).
