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
