How to write a plugin
-
So I want to write a plugin for notepad ++ but the only way I could find was C# with visual studio, I don’t know what I am doing, is there any way to write it in java with eclipse?
-
Notepad++ plugins have to be .DLL files.
So if you can turn java into one of those, then I’d say it is doable.
I’d have no idea how to do that, but some amazing things can be done in software. :-)is there any way to write it in java with eclipse?
It seems sad that if you are excited enough about Notepad++ to want to write a plugin for it, that you wouldn’t want to use Notepad++ to edit it.
I write most of my C/C++ code using Notepad++, only turning to something like Visual Studio to do a build of the code.

I’m surprised, I thought C++ was the “original” Notepad++ plugin language:

I don’t know of / have not seen a Java starter template - doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Maybe you can port the C++ one to Java?
What’s your plugin idea?
Cheers.

It is.
Because the OP wasn’t seeming to be interested in C++, I didn’t dig up and mention THIS which I think is the most-recent standard C++ template. -
An example of writing an npp plugin in java, the original author (sunjw) has deleted it in his github (https://github.com/sunjw) repository.
Fortunately I fork it :-)https://github.com/linpengcheng/JsToolJava

What plugins do you use for code completion or codejumping?

I use Notepad++ completion Settings => Preferences => Auto-Completion. It’s not ideal and only works on the local file - it’s not Intelli-Sense, but suffices for most my simple programming needs. For code navigation, I use a modified TagLEET.

This is sometimes not enough, maybe.
