Version 2.0.8 of Veloeclipse has been released.  This addresses a  
couple of bugs, and a few minor feature improvements.  Details are here:

Hey Byron,  (Is there a more appropriate list I can bring this
discussion back to???)

I'm really enjoying the latest version of the plugin btw... it's very
stable and works almost flawlessly.

I have two small things to point out:

1 - tabbing of array or map elements only allows a single tab width.

e.g. given the following code:


1|#set ($sorts = $searchTool.getSorts([
2| ["modified", "LONG_TYPE", true],
3| ["_custom-title", "STRING_TYPE", false]
4|]))


The editor will only allow line 2 to be tabbed in either a single tab
width... repeated tabs strikes just keeps toggling between 1 or 0 tabs.

Once line 2 is tabbed in one tab, line 3 will only tab in 1 or 2 tab
markers.

I think this is just some quirkiness with the editor implementation...
but it doesn't happen with other editors in Eclipse. Of course I can
enter as many spaces as I want.. but that's not exactly desired.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to tab arbitrary lines at will.

This is my preferred formatting of the above (showing tab markets):


1|#set ($sorts = $searchTool.getSorts([
2|-> -> ["modified", "LONG_TYPE", true],
3|-> -> ["_custom-title", "STRING_TYPE", false]
4|-> ]))


2 - (wish list) tool references in the context of the editor.

It would be extremely slick if there were an editor preference which
allowed listing the tools (by name) available in the context and
associate a class (from the classpath), such that we can have content
assist and auto-completion. Macros are working perfectly, but tools
don't currently have any support. That would be extremely cool.

Anyway, thanks for a great plugin.

For bugs and features the best place is to create an issue for them  
here:

Hmm, I tried your example and it works as you desire for me. I'm using  
Eclipse 3.4.1.  As I tab it continues to push the next line (line 2)  
out in indentation increments, which is also true for lines 3 and 4. I  
tried this in a file that only contains your example.  Maybe an  
Eclipse setting?

Yea, this would be a good feature, certainly the next feature to be  
worked on :)  the following plugin has this type of functionality:

http://velocitywebedit.sourceforge.net/

However, Velocitywebedit has grown a little stale, and I'm not sure  
how well it works currently.  I've thought about moving my updated  
changes into Velocitywebedit, or getting what I need from  
Velocitywebedit.  I havn't dove into code yet so I'm not sure what is  
more practical.
