vim-gradle

The purpose of this project is to maintain missing Gradle capabilities in Vim. Particularly:

• File extension recognition
• Syntax highlighting
• Folding
• Ctags support for Tagbar plugin

Additionally, some missing Groovy features are provided as well:

• Folding for Groovy files
• Groovy Ctags support for Tagbar plugin

Installation

Vim Pathogen Plugin

If you are using Vim Pathogen plugin, then the installation is simple and straightforward:

#!shell
cd ~/.vim/bundle
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/sw-samuraj/vim-gradle

Classic Vim Layout

If you prefer the traditional Vim layout, you can copy all the directories to your $VIM_HOME:

#!shell
cp -r after compiler ctags ftdetect ftplugin syntax ~/.vim

Through the Gradle

Your interest in the vim-gradle plugin probably means that you have Gradle already installed. Then you can run either

#!shell
gradle installBundle

for Pathogen-like installation, or

#!shell
gradle installVimball

for classic-like installation.

Uninstallation

Vim Pathogen Plugin

#!shell
rm -rf ~/.vim/bundle/vim-gradle

Classic Vim Layout

#!shell
cd ~/.vim
rm -rf syntax/gradle.vim ftdetect/gradle.vim compiler/gradle.vim after/syntax/groovy.vim

Through the Gradle

If you have Gradle already installed, then you can uninstall vim-gradle by

#!shell
gradle uninstallBundle

for the Pathogen bundle, or

#!shell
gradle uninstallVimball

for the classic layout.

TODO

• Add Vim documentation (available through :help command).
• Add :gradle command for running Gradle tasks.
• Improve Ctags mapping for Gradle and Groovy files.
