YEdit is an editor for editing YAML files. It is implemented as a Eclipse plugin.

Installation

To install, download the .jar file for the version you wish to install from http://dadacoalition.org/yedit/plugins and place in the plugins directory of you Eclipse installation.

or

Use the Eclipse update site found here: http://dadacoalition.org/yedit

or

Use the Eclipse Marketplace client.

Requirements

Eclipse 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and Java 5.

There are currently no plans to support older versions of Eclipse as longs as no-one gives me compelling reasons to do so.

There is a known issue with templates not working in Eclipse 3.4.

Project Status

The project is actively maintained, but my time to fix bugs and develop new features are limited. Feature request and bug reports are welcome though.

The editor stable and it should work fine for most YAML files. YAML is a complex format to parse, so there is bound to be some cases that are not accounted for. Feel free to report any errors that you find.

The parsing for the outline view and the syntax checking use the [SnakeYAML](http://code.google.com/p/snakeyaml/ SnakeYAML) parser and should correctly parse all YAML files that SnakeYAML will parse.
