Gengetopt
Eclipse
by Lorenzo Bettini
Gengetopt Eclipse is an Eclipse plugin providing an editor for GNU
Gengetopt input files.
For the moment, this editor provides (new features will be added in the
future):
- syntax highlighting
- code
completion
- code formatting
There is currently no associated builder, since it is assumed that
gengetopt files are used in projects using makefiles.
Gengetopt eclipse is free and open source, under the GNU GPL License.
Announces of new releases will be posted on my blog in this section:

As with most eclipse plugins, the easiest way to install gengetopt
eclipse is via the eclipse update manager:

Alternatively, you can download the zip file containing the plugin and

This is the gengetopt file editor in action (with code completion,
available through Ctrl +
Space)
The editor also provides a menu "Gengetopt", from where you can
automatically format the contents of the .ggo file, as shown in the
following screenshot (where the contents have already been formatted):
