Description Jon Smirl CLA 2010-11-15 07:41:43 EST 
It would be nice to have support for the Lua language that is used in a lot of games (WOW, etc). 

A lot of work has already been done here:
https://github.com/KINFOO/LuaEclipse

But it is suffering from bit rot and not tracking the DLTK releases.

It is based on this debugger that does work:
http://www.keplerproject.org/remdebug/manual.html

Current failure, I think something is wrong in the packaging. The parser is there but Eclipse is not finding it.

Comment 1 Alex Panchenko CLA 2010-11-15 08:12:00 EST 
AbstractMethodError means LuaEclipse was written for different DLTK version.
However, this issue is not related to Eclipse.org projects.

Please try to contact the community of this project(s) at github or luaeclipse.luaforge.net - I am not actually where the active development happens at the moment, as I can see 3 repositories - 2 at github and 1 at luaforge.net.
Comment 2 Benjamin Cabé CLA 2012-01-09 13:49:10 EST 
Hey Jon — you might want to try Koneki LDT (http://www.eclipse.org/koneki/ldt), which is kind of a successor to LuaEclipse!
