vi plugin for eclipse

I was using a viplugin for eclipse 3.0 M8. It was useful as I was one of
those who has been using vi for years now.. and vi helps increase your
coding speed. and then can the eclipse 3.0 M9. and the 0.2.11 version of
viplugin and i have been fondly using.. went for a toss..

i wanted to get the latest plugin.. but then i realised that now its
costs 15 Euro. for me in india, 15 euro is quite an amount. so i thought
why not i enhance for 0.2.11 version..(0.2.11 was released under IBM CPL
license along with the src code!!) . i took the source code. and started
my hunt. i have already put some 4 days of effort but no breakthru.. i
realised that the 0.2.11 is working fine when folding is disabled.. so,
i disabled folding ( which anyone dint make much sense to me).. and now
using the 0.2.11 version.. but i am sure that i can crack the problem
with the folding enabled.. its only matter of time!!

yes balu. there is a vi plugin for eclipse. but this plugin doesnot work in Eclipse 3.0 if code folding is enabled (code folding is a feature that has been added from Eclipse 3.0 M9 release.. with this you can fold/hide a section of code.. like you can hide all teh imports in your code.. ).

But if code folding is disabled, the old viPlugin works. I can send you this plugin. The old 0.2.11 version of this plugin is on CPL license. The newer vesions are on commercial license. So, you can enhance 0.2.11 version and release it. I tried making some enhancements. But I could not fix the folding problem yet on 0.2.11 version.
