Eclipse plugin MQL Editor

Hello Cehraphaim,

Can you please resolve issue of include folder files getting copied to experts folder. Also, FYI, if we have sample.mqh file under include folder, and you try to compile it, you will get corrosponding .ex4 file also, which it should not generate.
Excellent idea for mql editor plugin. And it's well designed!

Hello,

the URL to the update site (Eclipse: Install new software) does not work any more - plugin cannot be found. Can I download that plugin somewhere else? Or is there another MQL4 eclipse plugin?

Best regards,
Alex

Hi, Folks

I've been trying to use the MQL Editor but I can't create a project. It won't accept anything I try to give it as a container. I even went so far as to create folders in my workspace and the project creation doesn't see them. It does, however, see previous folders from previous test projects. I'm an experienced software developer but I've never done much with Eclipse. It seems like containers are - or at least should be - the equivalent of project folders if I were using Visual Studio and creating a C++ or C# project.

Also, I've tried typing the absolute path in both with and without quotes to no avail. I've also tried both using and not using a template file. I also tried changing the extension of the template file to mq4, which the dialog seems to be looking for and it doesn't even see it. At any rate, I get to that point in the project creation process and that's it. Both the Next and Finish buttons are disabled and there I sit. I'm beginning to think the plugin is not functioning correctly.

Is anyone still using this and, if so, can you shed some light on my dilemma?

Many thanks,

Jeff

BTW, I'm trying to build a trade management EA which I plan to sell but will make available to Forex Factory members for free. Oh, I'm also using the Juno edition on Eclipse.

Hi, zoidy

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that's the version I already have, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure what the deal is.

Oh, it works ok though right? I spoke to the creator this week, he's going to put the source on Git when he has time. I have some feature enhancements I would like to make.
- Create new MQL4 Project (this would set up a the right source folder structure)
- I'd like to add code completion from custom libraries too
- Docs integration (I thought this was a feature but can't see it in my version)
- There were some other ones that I can think of now.

I'm using it currently and it is way better than metaeditor for one reason, I have SVN integration (let alone local history too). I'm currently just using a general eclipse project which contains a full metatrader installation so, as I code and compile, I can test it right away. I'd just like to be able to hide all the ex4 files and others the don't get edited)

Here's what mine looks like.

1) Create a new->general->project
2) Go to your workspace an copy your entire metatrader installation into this directory
3) Refresh on the project in eclispe
4) then just update/add source
5) you also need to goto windows->preferences->mqleditor->compiler options and add the path (eg C:\workspace\MTProject\metalang.exe)
6) change the editor preferences too so you can get some color in your code
7) then when you click the compile button at the top, you'll get little red marks to the right of your source, find the console window (Window->show view->console window) and you will have your error report


btw, I've never written an eclipse plugin before so there'll be a learning curve for me..

that's it! I've been searching for this since I've started to work with MQL. I don't know if it was only me who couldn't find the download link. Can you post is please?

Hi

Does anyone know where I can download this?

Or is the source code available?

Weird question maybe..
Which is better for security reason? MQL editor or Eclipse plugins?

Hi Cehraphaim,

I want to install your plugin but the links provided here in the forum don't work anymore.
Do you have a GIT repo or a new link perhaps?

Thanks!
David
