Development of an Eclipse plugin that supports incremental programming with ghosts.
The latest version of Ghosts is available here.
Ghosts is available as beta version for Eclipse. In order to try Ghosts, you will need the standard Eclipse IDE for Java Developers version 3.7.1 or higher. We recommend:
Eclipse for Windows 32-bit 64-bit
Eclipse for Mac Cocoa 32-bit 64-bit
Eclipse for Linux 32-bit 64-bit
Just download it, and copy the jar file to your dropins/ folder inside eclipse:
$ECLIPSE_DIR/dropins/
For a better experience with Ghosts, please follow these steps:
- Activate the Ghosts perspective in Window>>Open perspective>>Other>>Ghosts
- Disable the preference “Report problems as you type” (see example) in Preferences>>Java>>Editor>>Report problems as you type
- If ghosts are not reified properly, close-&-reopen the project.
To uninstall Ghosts, just remove the jar file in the dropins/ folder and run (the first time you open Eclispe):
$ECLIPSE_DIR/eclipse -clean
