This is Pawn Editor plugin for Eclipse IDE.
Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Java apps, but also for many other programming languages.
This plugin extends Eclipse for Pawn editing.

Features

• Syntax highlighting
• Auto-complete
• File outline
• Code templates

Syntax highlighting
Colors can be changed from menu: Window -> Preferences -> Pawn Editor

Auto-complete
Activate with Ctrl + Space (key binding can be changed in Eclipse preferences)
Includes variables, functions, constants, #defines declared in current file and in #included files.
Auto-completions are cached, so the plugin does not have to parse all the include files every time you open Eclipse. This means that if some include files change, you need to delete the completions.txt file in workspace folder: .metadata/.plugins/ee.jb.pawn/

File outline
Shows overview of current file.
Click on outline item to select it in editor.
If Outline view is not visible, you can fix it using the menu: Window -> Show View -> Outline

Code templates
Activate with Ctrl + Space (key binding can be changed in Eclipse preferences)
Includes common Pawn statements like if, else, for, while etc
Templates can be changed from menu: Window -> Preferences -> Pawn Editor -> Templates

Download Eclipse IDE from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/ (I tested with Eclipse Oxygen.1a (4.7.1a) IDE for Java Developers)
Download Pawn Editor plugin JAR file (ZIP is in attached files, contains plugin and Java source code) and put it to dropins folder.
Start Eclipse IDE.

Although I would prefer an IntelliJ plugin, this is the next best thing. You're awesome. Thanks!

Impressive, good work. I thought of doing this too (for either eclipse or intellij) but never made time for it and I use vim for pawn anyways.

Looks good, GJ.
