About

This plugin is just a simple eclipse editor for YAML files. The editor is available at https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/yaml-editor

Features:

• Fast and small
• Validation
  (is done internally by embedded snake yaml parser )
• Outline + Quickoutline
• Vertical Ruler which can be moved (F3)
• Simple code completion for existing words
• Entering a tab key will always result in no tab but 3 spaces...
• Syntax highlighting, colors can be customized, defaults for dark themes exist
• Comment toggling (CTRL + 7)
• Folding (can be turned off/on in preferences)
• Task support (TODO, FIXME or even custom tags...)

Why another yaml editor for eclipse?

There exists some other editors for eclipse for yaml but there were some issues which annoyed me

• One of them had an odd syntax highlighting beahviour (delayed)
• No vertical ruler (an important feature for myself)
• Tabs not allways surpresssed
• No code completion
