Eclipse and Lua

Tried installing the Lua plugin (Lua development 1.2) in Eclipse. It didn't really work. ClassNotFoundException when I tried editing a file I named .lua. Bad.

Also, Eclipse behavior when editing xml files was a bit daunting, as well. When creating a file from scratch, Eclipse went into an "xml mode" requesting everything be put into the file by way of dialog boxes and tags, so to speak. When I renamed a file with already written content to an xml ending, however, Eclipse didn't even get the syntax highlighting up and running. Weird.

Or perhaps not so weird, had I had the time and energy to look deeper into it. As for now, however, I'm going Notepad++!
