    copied!<h2>Introduction a.k.a. what do I intend to do</h2> <p><em>feel free to skip this part, no real information is comprised in here</em></p> <p>Because of the lack of a good, free (as in speech) <code>vim</code>-Mode for the otherwise excellent JavaEditor in Eclipse(3.4), I'm thinking about writing one. The available solutions are:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.viplugin.com/viplugin/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ViPlugin</a>: commercial and not good (e.g. no <code>vim</code> <code>text-objects</code>, such as <code>daW</code>)</li> <li><a href="http://vimplugin.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">VimPlugin</a>: new editor, not the power of the built in JavaEditor</li> <li>see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/597117/painless-integration-of-eclipse-with-vim">SO: <em>Painless</em> integration of Eclipse with Vim? </a>: nothing really good turned up</li> </ul> <p>(However feel free to mention <strong>other</strong> solutions than the ones above which could help me.)</p> <p>In my opinion, it's the wrong way of writing a completely new editor based on <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/stable/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/editors/text/TextEditor.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>TextEditor</code></a>, because you will then loose the cool features the standard JavaEditor gives you for free (such as 'organize imports', 'refactor menu', ...).</p> <p>I'm thinking of a 'skin' to the normal JavaEditor which behaves like <code>vim</code>, everything else should be unchanged.</p> <h2>Now the questions</h2> <ul> <li>How can I detect if a <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/stable/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/IWorkbenchPart.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>IWorkbenchPart</code></a> given by <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/stable/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/IPartListener.html#partActivated(org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPart)" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>IPartListener.partActivated()</code></a> is the JavaEditor?</li> <li>How can I then replace JavaEditor's <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/stable/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/events/KeyListener.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>KeyListener</code></a>; something like the <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/stable/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jface/text/ITextViewerExtension.html#prependVerifyKeyListener(org.eclipse.swt.custom.VerifyKeyListener)" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>ITextViewerExtension.prependVerifyKeyListener</code></a> is needed?</li> <li>Is this a good way to go on?</li> </ul>
