What operating system do you use? I've tried it several times on Fedora Core 6 but it doesn't work, either with the FC Eclipse or the official Eclipse version. The Haskell plug-in installs fine, but the editor crashes, not always the same way. The problem seems to be the different Java versions, and Java Virtual Machines, which are in use on different systems. The Fedora Eclipse also has problems with some other plug-ins which are not supported (yet).
I use both windows and fedora. I don't use the fedora-provided eclipse. Instead I have installed Sun's JVM (1.6.0 update 1) and downloaded eclipse from eclipse.org . I use eclipse on fedora every day with a multitude of plugins and it seems to be very stable when run on the Sun JVM. In the past I have had problems running eclipse with GCJ. I haven't really had a chance to use eclipsefp in anger yet, but syntax highlighting, error highlighting and compiling work. Runnging in ghci didn't seem to work for me but I must look into that. No crashes or exceptions yet. Donnchadh
