Are there any working Lua plugins for Eclipse Galileo?
I work a lot in Lua and work mostly in Eclipse Galileo. Sorry, no working syntax highlighting plugin is shown. I've tried almost every available version of LuaEclipse and LunarEclipse (including the beta preview), but didn't get anywhere. In both cases, I get errors while installing them, referring to the missing packages.
Disappointing thing - all I really care about is syntax highlighting, which should be trivial. Has anyone else had any luck with this?
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions. I have pasted the error I get while installing LuaEclipse 1.3.1 preview below.

LuaEclipse is the only Lua plugin for Eclipse I can find. However, there are a number of other editors you could try if they don't install correctly for you.
The Pipmak Wiki lists various Lua editors that you could try.
Update: An installation error message complains about the lack of CVS. This error sometimes occurs when you are behind a proxy, you can configure Eclipse to use your proxy like this:
- Go to Window-> Preferences
- Click Install / Update
- Check Enable HTTP Proxy Connection
- Enter your proxy in the proxy host address and proxy port in the HTTP proxy host
- Click "OK"
Unless you are behind a proxy server. Your P2 repository may be in an inconsistent state. HAve you tried to install a clean install of Eclipse?

Have you tried EclipseColorer ? It can highlight many syntaxes. In fact, even if he can not, here you can find documentation on how to create a new profile for the illumination of a particular language.

I guess this is not an answer to your question, but I have a semi-working version of LuaEclipse (https://github.com/KINFOO/LuaEclipse) that I compiled on Helios did not compile. The resulting plugin doesn't do much, but does syntax highlighting and catch syntax errors. Since all you seem to care about is syntax highlighting, would you like to give it a try? I have a private build that I can give you a try. Please note that I've only tried this on Macbook pro and only on Eclipse Helios (not Galileo) and it is not very functional in any other way (no debugging, etc.).
