Prerequisites

Or see Alternative configuration

Installation in Eclipse IDE

Using Eclipse Marketplace: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/acute-c-edition-eclipse-ide-experimental

Using p2 repository, with the Install New Software wizard (or to reference in p2 director command, or in target-platform description for your RCP application)

Concept

Eclipse aCute relies on OmniSharp-Roslyn and Language Server Protocol for edition, and on netcoredbg and Debug Adapter Protocol for debugging. Integration with those tools is powered by Eclipse LSP4E

Eclipse aCute relies on TM4E and a textmate grammar to provide syntax highlighting in the IDE.

Alternative configuration

You can setup a local OmniSharp Language Server fetched, configured and working locally. Then at least one of the following environment variables should be set to make Eclipse IDE able to locate your specific OmniSharp-node-client:

Note that this approach isn't recommended nor supported by the aCute project developers. It's mainly useful for contributors who want to hack things around Omnisharp-node-client and/or aCute.
