I was disappointed to find that the Lua plugin is not available on the Mac side of things. I really just need it for one thing--auto imports in Java so I don't have to memorize which package every Java class is in. This is the one thing keeping me from deleting Eclipse from my computer entirely, which I'd really love to do. Terrible editor.

Before I start the long laborious process of getting source for Geany, GTK, the Lua JIT, I think maybe Scintilla, but it was a lot of stuff just for compiling a tiny plugin--

  1. Does anybody know why it was not converted over originally? Coding fatigue, a little bit of bitrot, or some major, time-consuming issue?

  2. Is there another way of doing this? I have the ctags files installed for autocomplete, which I rarely use, and calltips, which I never use, but sadly, there's no package information in them. I don't mind typing the import line in, but something to tell me JTables are in javax.swing,* would be nice.
