How do I use Eclipse for Scheme development?

Question

Has anyone succeeded in running and debugging Scheme with Eclipse?

I've tied several plug-ins (scheme 48, schemeway) and couldn't get them working. I'm not sure why they won't work; I downloaded an interpreter (kawa, mit-scheme) and tried to configure it in the plugin but nothing happened (except that mit-scheme threw some errors).

I know there is another way - Racket, but I prefer not to use another IDE. I work with many languages and I'd like to be able to use one IDE for all of them.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I tried to run the simplest .scm file (that has only (+ 1 1) in it). By configuration of the plug-ins I mean that I choose an external interpreter and then choose the kawa/mit-scheme interpreter exe file. When I choose kawa with schemeway it open a new window and waited for my input (I didn't have any input - JUST wanted to run the file...). When I did it with mit-scheme interpreter I got this error... I am using linux-centOS 6.

Found the solution - here it is if someone else will encounter the same error:

There are 2 step when trying to work with Scheme 48 in Eclipse:

1. install the plugin - just follow http://s48.org/sdt/
2. install the interpreter - I finally found 2 that I can work with :
   1. Scheme 48 (I use ubuntu so I typed scheme48 in the command line and it gave me the package that I need to install (I think it was sudo apt-get install scheme48)). Then open the preferences in Eclipse and go to scheme48->interpreter and check that the command line is scheme48.
   2. guile - I think that it is supported by gnu. It also the one I prefer. It had less errors and more understandable error output in the consul. Again, to install it I just typed guile in the command line and it gave me 3 versions. I installed 1.8. after installation I created a scheme project and a simple file. go to the preferences and changed the command line to "guile" and the working directory to the path of the project I just created. to load the file just search for the load file into interpreter button (or press Ctrl+F6).
