Hi Peter, I'm also just starting to learn Haskell and tried the eclipsefp eclipse plugin [1] (since my day job is java development). It seems a little basic at the moment, but judging from this blog [2] it seems to have a lot of potential. In fact part of the project seems to be to allow the development of eclipse plugins written in haskell, which could allow the possibility of integrating some of the tools listed on the haskell wiki with it. I also tried eclipsedarcs [3] for darcs repository access but it only really seems to work with local repositories.

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). Something similar happened with an Open Office Java utility which, according to the documentation, only works with the Sun JVM. Even though OO allows selection among different JVMs, that didn't work either. The eclipsefp site does list some bugs I've encountered, but does not mention any JVM or other preferences. But I'm convinced that's the problem...
It seems a little basic at the moment, but judging from this blog [2] it seems to have a lot of potential. What I've seen of it, before it crashes, looks very nice.
Regards, Hans van Thiel

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
