Can I use vi/vim along with DVT?
================================

DVT contains ViPlugin OEM (`<http://www.viplugin.com/viplugin/index.php/viplugin>`_) for vi emulation.
To use it, download a prepacked version of DVT or install **viPlugin for DVT** feature from DVT Update Site.

Below you can find a list with other vi emulation plugins for Eclipse:

1. `<http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/home>`_

- free
- easy install from update site
- has some basic *vi* commands that work in editors
- DVT editors work perfect with it

2. `<http://eclim.org>`_

- free
- hard to install
- integrates Eclipse in *vi* or *vi* in Eclipse (it has many modes)
- has not been tested extensively with DVT

1. `<http://vimplugin.org>`_

- free
- easy to install from update site, but requires needs JDT (Java Development Tools) installed in eclipse and gvim in os
- it replaces editor window in eclipse with gvim window, therefore no DVT editor feature is preserved
