Eclim brings Eclipse IDE functionality (code completion, validation, navigation) into the Vim editor via a Java-based server. The project reached end of life in August 2024, as LSP implementations have made it unnecessary.
Use cases
- use Eclipse code completion inside Vim
- run Eclipse Java validation from Vim
- navigate Java projects in Vim with Eclipse indexing
- edit Java in Vim without leaving the editor
- integrate Eclipse build features with Vim workflows
When to choose
- you are locked into a legacy Vim + Eclipse setup and cannot migrate
- you need Eclipse-specific project tooling inside Vim on an old codebase
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use an LSP-based setup like vim-lsp or coc.nvim instead
- you want actively maintained software with support
- you use editors other than Vim without a dedicated client
