Velocity editor plugin for Eclipse Luna

Question

I was searching for a Velocity editor plugin for Eclipse Luna but I could not find any. I found couple of editor plugins like:

1. Veloeclipse
2. Velocity Editor

Answer 1

Veloedit worked, following the installation instructions from their github page: https://github.com/vaulttec/veloedit

Installation

Online updates are available from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vaulttec/veloedit/updatesite/. Define a site bookmark in Eclipse's Update Manager view, navigate to the update site via this bookmark and install the Velocity UI feature.

Answer 2

Veloedit seems the most prominent option for file editing, but it has installation problems currently. More information about the current status in active SourceForge bug.

Answer 3

I can confirm that installing 'Eclipse 2.0 Style Plugin Support' made the plugin work in Eclipse Luna. Thanks.

Answer 4

You can install support for 2.0 style plugins using Help > Install New Software.

Select the 'Eclipse Project Updates' site (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.4).

You will find 'Eclipse 2.0 Style Plugin Support' in the 'Eclipse Tests, Examples and Extras' section.

Install it.

After, simply install Veloeclipse or other old "2.0 style" plugin
