Are there any IDE's or editors that support Mercury besides emacs?

Which language? Eclipse has a good plugin for mercurial, and can supports languages like cpp, java, python, erlang (and I think ruby, javascript, html, css, scala as well, possibly even more) – Enno Shioji Jun 14 '11 at 01:39

Distributed with Mercury is a syntax highlighting file for vim. This is the only official editor support. See the vim directory in the compiler's source distribution.
People say that prolog-mode for Emacs also supports Mercury, I tried this and discovered that it didn't handle Mercury specific syntax at all, and therefore was no better than using any other emacs mode.
Personally I use vim with syntax highlighting.

We have recently released a simple plugin for eclipse to help editing Mercury files and using along Java projects. Please take a look at it if you have Mercury under Linux and meets your requirements. Any feedback is welcome. :)

Codeblocks could probably be made to work with Mercury. It doesn't directly support syntax highlighting for this language but you can create a custom lexer for it. Getting codeblocks' build system to work with the mmc compiler is just a matter of tweaking the 'advanced options' under Compiler and debugger settings.

I looked at the page and it says the languages have to be supported by scintilla. And Mercury doesn't seem to be. – None Jun 20 '11 at 02:59
