VEditor (Verilog Editor for Eclipse) in Eclipse Galileo

Question

Hi all! I installed VEditor (http://sourceforge.net/projects/veditor/) in Eclipse, apparently successfully. But I can't seem to use it!

I'm new to Eclipse plugins (and to Eclipse itself, as a matter of fact), but I'm guessing I would have the option to create a new project with the type "Verilog Project", or something, but there's no such thing.

Also, I tried importing my current "project" (no .eclipse file, it's just a lot of files in some folders) into eclipse and opening one of the files, and the syntax highlighting doesn't work.

So, I'm looking for a path: what do I have to do to code my Verilog projects in Eclipse with VEditor (or any other plugin that serves the same purpose)

Answer 1

Since verilog plugin is tested on Eclipse 3.2.1, on what version of eclipse do you have those issues?

As recommended in the HowTo page, you can try to have a fresh eclipse3.2/JDK5 installation (beside your current eclipse installation) in order to manage your VHDL projects in that instance.

Answer 2

if you don't mind spending money to get a working IDE: use amiq's DVTEclipse.
afaik, you get the whole package: Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL, e.
