In the true spirit of “release early, release often” I am making my first prototype of a split editor available now as an Eclipse plugin. The plugin works in the new Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede. Download, place in your Eclipse dropins directory and you’re set to go.
Instructions on how to test the plugin are available on the wiki.
Keep in mind that this is a very early prototype and it barely works. There are a lot of issues. If you do download it, please feel free to share your experience with me by posting your (encouraging/bashful/hateful/frustrated/…) comment to this blog or the wiki.
There will be lots more in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Woohoo! Looking forward to seeing it in action.
Thanks for taking this on. It’s been a long time coming.
Thanks for atacking this, Bon courage / Good luck ! It’s a shame this was not fixed.
When it’s finished, I hope you’ll get some time left to fix OpenOffice… same feature stupidly missing AND rejected as “useless”…

I’m afraid I’ll have to leave the OpenOffice fix for some other open source enthusiast to use as an excuse to sign up for Google Summer of Code
.
Thanks to the encouraging comments though!
Very interesting. I like it. Do you want to write more about it?
