Haskell plug-in for Eclipse
Note: I posted updated version with installation instructions for Windows XP and screencast tutorial.
I use Eclipse to all sort of development on C, Java and Haskell. It gives me uniform look and feel on every project. In this post I wold like to show steps necessary to run Haskell Eclipse plug-in.
First of all you need to have Eclipse installed. I will use Ubuntu 8.10 and the installation command is:
[code lang="bash"]
sudo apt-get install eclipse
[/code]
My Eclipse version is: Europa 3.2.2, Haskell plug-in version is: 0.10.0 and Java version “1.6.0_06″
When the installation finish run Eclipse and select “Workbench” from initial page.
- From menu on the top select: Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install ….
- On “Install/Update” form select “Search for new features to Install”, click “Next”.
- On “Install” form click “New Remote Site …”
- On “Edit Remote Site” form enter:
Name: Haskell Plug-in
URL: http://eclipsefp.sf.net/updates
- this is the location of Project that develops Functional Programming plug-in for Haskell and Ocaml. Click “OK”. - On “Install” form select check-box near the “Haskell Plug-in” if it is not already selected and click “Finish”
After the Installation is complete it may be necessary to restart Eclipse.
- From menu go to: “Window”-> “Preferences…”
- On “Preferences” form select “Functional Programming” and set appropriate compiler and editor options for you system.
- On top right corner of Eclipse there is “Java perspective” that can be changed to “Haskell perspective”.
Enjoy happy programming.
