Hi guys,
About supporting the languages with context highlighting (and other useful IDE features): if you put an extension on the temporary file when it's opened in eclipse (based on content, either .vm or .groovy) then you don't really have to worry about the language support. 
 
The existing vm and groovy plugins should take care of this from there; and they're fairly simple to install and use.
 
In the meantime, this tool is saving me a good chunk of time with my xwiki tasks - thanks again!

Hi,

Very excited by this new plugin.. Will make a lot of my day-to-day xwiki
modifications much easier.
A few small questions:
1) Is there a minimum supported XWiki version?

XEclipse will work with xwiki 1.1 m1 and above.

2) Velocity/Groovy support: will this interfere with the groovy and/or
the velocity syntax plugin?

Currently XEclipse does not support these features. But you can refer to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/XEclipseExtension about what features are on the road map.

3) Server name: must this point to the "xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome"
location, or just the "\xwiki"?  Both don't login for me, but I am
running an older version on the server I'm testing with.

it should be /xwiki/xmlrpc/confluence. I will add this info to above page soon.

Try this out and if you have more problems get back to us.

Thanks.

Thanks,
brandon
