title: Using Haml & Sass with Eclipse
body: <p>Are there any plugins for eclipse that add syntax highlighting and other niceties for editing <a href="http://haml-lang.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Haml</a> and <a href="http://sass-lang.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sass</a>? Google searches only seem to point to a <a href="http://www.lucky-dip.net/articles/2007/06/21/haml-sass-editor-for-radrails/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">dead project on lucky-dip.net</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Note: it's Sass I'm most interested in. A solution for using just Sass (or something similar to it like <a href="http://lesscss.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">less</a>) in Eclipse would suit my needs.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I'm developing for Google App Engine (Java), using the App Engine plugin for Eclipse. So switching to another IDE isn't an option.</p>

  <p><strong>Update:</strong> So I've got syntax highlighting now using <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1474096/haml-sass-editor-plugin-for-eclipse/1509942#1509942">Pascal's answer</a> and I've installed <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ruby</a> and <a href="http://wiki.github.com/chriseppstein/compass/getting-started" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Compass</a> to compile sass into css.</p>
  
  <p>However I'm aware that the <a href="http://nex-3.com/posts/83-sass-and-less" rel="nofollow noreferrer">syntax of sass will be changing with 2.4</a> so I'd still like to get the Haml and Sass Editors that come with Aptana to work. When I tried to use them they threw an exception and wouldn't display the files. I'd be interested to know if that's because I misconfigured Aptana or is an actual bug in the editors.</p>
  
  <p>I'd also be <strong>very</strong> interested in any way of compiling Sass that integrated with Ecplise so that I didn't have to run something separate from it. (or a way of putting Sass/Compass in the Ecplise build process.)</p>
