This looks interesting. I can see how it could be very useful for modding. But... 233 Megabytes ?! Wow, that's huge! That dwarfs even the beefy Soundpack for SoundSense. And that's inside the .ZIP still! I can only imagine how big it is after installation.

Is there any way to cut down the size a bit?

Anyway, does this eclipse + DF plugin provide a lot of extra features over Notepad++ syntax highlighting for DF raws? If not, I'll probably stick with the latter until I upgrade. (Currently stuck with a 60 GB hard drive on laptop, which is mostly full.)

Edit: Nevermind... It seems those huge downloads were for SDK and subversions. It looks like there are much smaller Eclipse builds here: http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/downloads/?project=xtext

I was confused at first about mentions of "Build Dependencies" and such. I just wanted to find out how to install it. But I eventually found the Eclipse.org Wiki. And these links seem to be what I was looking for:
* Install Guide
* Known Issues
* Updating and installing software

It looks like the only real dependency is having either Java 1.5 or 1.6 installed.

Edit: I was surprised when I could not find any downloads in the Downloads tab of the dwarffotressraweditor project. But then I looked at the Source tab and found:

Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP.

It mentions "svn checkout" and an address. From this I assumed it could be downloaded via an SVN checkout tool. I tried doing a checkout using TortoiseSVN, but all I got were these error messages:

Error: URL
Error: 'http://dwarffotressraweditor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/%20dwarffotressraweditor-read-only'
Error: doesn't exist

Edit:
I got it to work by using this address: http://dwarffotressraweditor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

But... I now see those "much smaller Eclipse builds" I mentioned was only the Xtext portion. So it really does look like a monster download and install, all told.

Before you get too excited, i have to note that there is currently bug in xtext that makes it imposible to implement whole raw grammar because parses simply can not handle it. It was not made with thousands of tokens in mind ...

As such, this project is in hold indefinitelly

Just heads up: bug is filled at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=328753

When it is fixed, this project can continue.

This is a bit of a necro, but that bug was long ago fixed in 2011. Any chance you plan to continue working on this zwei?

Yeah I would like to, but I am busy with other stuff too.
