ec4e is the EditorConfig support for Eclipse based on ec4j EditorConfig parser and works only with GenericEditor:

ec4e provides :

• an editor for .editorconfig based tm4e and GenericEditor:

• apply config of .editorconfig only for GenericEditor. Supported properties are:

  • indent_style
  • indent_size

Syntax coloration, auto close brackets are available for other files (properties/ini files) like .gitattributes, .gitconfig, gitconfig etc

See ec4e wiki for more informations.

You can install ec4e with the update site http://oss.opensagres.fr/ec4e/snapshots/

editorconfig-eclipse is an Eclipse plugin for editorconfig, so why developping an another plugin:

• uses GenericEditor and tm4e for the EditorConfig editor.
• use a custom parser for editorconfig instead of using standard editorconfig-core-java. This custom parser is able to validate editorconfig, manage completion, etc.
• apply of editorconfig for a given editor uses IPreferenceStore instead of updating global preferences of Eclipse as soon as editor has focus.
