What LiClipse is

LiClipse is a set of plugins that extends Eclipse with editors, themes, usability changes, bundled plugins, and native installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Built-in language support covers Python, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, C/C++, Go, Ruby, PHP, Markdown, YAML, and other languages, while TextMate bundles can add support through bundle files. Editing tools include multiple cursors, vertical indent guides, themed scrollbars, and Lucene index-based text search. RST, Markdown, and HTML editors include HTML preview. LiClipse bundles Eclipse Color Theme, StartExplorer, AnyEdit, and PyDev, and works with existing Eclipse plugins. It provides an integrated debugger and test runner, advanced code intelligence, remote development, and Python environment tools, but no integrated profiler. Standalone installers are available, or LiClipse can be added to Eclipse 4.20 or later with Java 11. A 30-day evaluation precedes paid use.
