How can I record and replay macros in Eclipse 3.5?

Which tool would you recommend for macro recording and replaying ? Is there a language as well ? I frequently switch between Eclipse and Emacs(actually Xemacs) for editing tasks.

It would be nice if I didn't have to do as frequently. That would happen if a macro language/recorder were available in eclipse. It's available in Netbeans, so how come that is not a priority for eclipse ?

There is no current macro language on Eclipse:

  • Practical Macro is not compatible with current 3.5 or 3.6 Eclipse) (update 2014: it has been updated since 2010).
  • The official proposal Eclipse Monkey has been withdrawn.
  • And the bug 8519 records the absence of keystroke macro since 2002! (130 votes too), even though there have been some experiment.

So your best bet is right now:

, which are completely separated from Eclipse, but can at least record and send key events to any application.
