:Eclipse is an open, extensible IDE platform for "everything and nothing in particular". It is implemented in Java and runs on several platforms. The Java IDE built on top of it has already become very popular among Java developers. The Haskell tools extend it to support editing (syntax coloring, code assist), compiling, and running Haskell programs from within the IDE. In more details, it features:
:* Syntax highlighting and errors/warning highlighting
:* A module browser showing all installed packages, their modules and the contents of the modules (functions, types, etc.)
:* Integration with [http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ Hoogle]: select an identifier in your code, press F4 and see the results in hoogle
:* Code navigation: from within a Haskell source file, jump to the file where a symbol in declared, or everywhere a symbol is used (type sensitive search, not just a text search)
:* Outline view: quickly jump to definitions in your file
:* Quick fixes on common errors and import management
:* A cabal file editor and integration with Cabal (uses cabal configure, cabal build under the covers), and a graphical view of installed packages
:* Integration with GHCi: launch GHCi inside Eclipse on any module
:* Integration with the GHCi debugger: performs the GHCi debugging commands for you from the standard Eclipse debugging interface
:* Integration with [http://web.archive.org/web/20140516003836/community.haskell.org/~ndm/hlint/ HLint]: gives you HLint warning on building and allows you to quick fix them
:* Integration with [https://github.com/jaspervdj/stylish-haskell Stylish-Haskell]: format your code with stylish-haskell
:* Test support: shows results of test-framework based test suite in a graphical format. HTF support to come soon.

=== [http://colorer.sourceforge.net/eclipsecolorer/index.html Colorer plugin for Eclipse IDE] (updated 2011) ===
:Syntax highlighting in Eclipse can be achieved using the Colorer plugin. This is more light weight than using the EclipseFP plugin which has much functionality but can be messy to install and has sometimes been a bit shaky.

:Eclipse Colorer is a plugin that enables syntax highlighting for a wide range of languages. It uses its own XML-based language for describing syntactic regions of languages. It does not include support for Haskell by default, but this can be added using the syntax description files attached below.

:<b>Installation instructions</b>
:# Install the Colorer from the update site <code>http://colorer.sf.net/eclipsecolorer/</code> (for more detailed instructions see the project page).
:# Download the Haskell syntax description files in [http://www.haskell.org/wikiupload/1/16/Haskell_Eclipse_Colorer.tar.gz Haskell_Eclipse_Colorer.tar.gz].
:#Extract its contents (haskell.hrc and proto.hrc) into the following directory (overwriting proto.hrc): <code>eclipse_installation_dir/plugins/net.sf.colorer_0.9.9/colorer/hrc</code> (sometimes the wiki seems to create a nesting tar file, so you might have to unpack twise).
:# Finished. A restart of Eclipse might be required. .hs files should open with syntax highlighting.

:<b>Tips</b>
:* If .hs files open with another kind of syntax highlighting check that they are associated with the Colorer Editor (Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations). Or right click on them and choose Open With -> Other -> Colorer Editor.
:* Sometimes the highlighting gets confused. Then it might help to press Ctrl+R and re-colour the editor.
:* Use the Word Completion feature (Shift+Alt+7) as a poor man's content assist.
:* Use the standard External Tools feature in Eclipse to invoke the compiler from inside the IDE.
:* Use the Block selection feature (Shift+Alt+A) to insert/remove line comments on multiple lines at the same time.
:* Some other useful standard Eclipse features include the Open resource command (Ctrl+Shift+R), the File search command (Ctrl+H) and the bookmarks feature (Edit -> Add bookmark). Make sure to check Include in next/prev navigation box (Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations -> Bookmarks).

=== [http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/HIDE hIDE] ===
:hIDE is a GUI-based Haskell IDE written using gtk+hs. It does not include an editor but instead interfaces with NEdit, vim or GNU emacs.

=== [http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/HIDE hIDE-2] ===
:Through the dark ages many a programmer has longed for the ultimate tool. In response to this most unnerving craving, of which we ourselves have had maybe more than our fair share, the dynamic trio of #Haskellaniacs (dons, dcoutts and Lemmih) hereby announce, to the relief of the community, that a fetus has been conceived: ''hIDE - the Haskell Integrated Development Environment''. So far the unborn integrates source code recognition and a chameleon editor, resenting these in a snappy gtk2 environment. Although no seer has yet predicted the date of birth of our hIDEous creature, we hope that the mere knowledge of its existence  will spread peace of mind throughout the community as oil on troubled waters.

=== [http://web.archive.org/web/20060213161530/http://www.students.cs.uu.nl/people/rjchaaft/JCreator/ JCreator with Haskell support] ===
: <b>N.B. The link above is to the Wayback Machine (Web Archive); it seem that JCreator is no longer supported.</b>
:JCreator is a highly customizable Java IDE for Windows. Features include extensive project support, fully customizable toolbars (including the images of user tools) and menus, increase/decrease indent for a selected block of text (tab/shift+tab respectively). The Haskell support module adds syntax highlighting for Haskell files and WinHugs, hugs, a static checker (if you double click on the error message, JCreator will jump to the right file and line and highlight it yellow) and the Haskell 98 Report as tools. Platforms: Win95, Win98, WinNT and Win2000 (only Win95 not tested yet). Size: 6MB. JCreator is a trademark of Xinox Software; Copyright &copy; 2000 Xinox Software. The Haskell support module is made by Rijk-Jan van Haaften.

=== [[haste]] - Haskell TurboEdit ===
:haste - Haskell TurboEdit - was an IDE for the functional programming language Haskell, written in Haskell.

=== [http://web.archive.org/web/20100821111916/http://www.haskell.org/visualhaskell/ Visual Haskell] ===
:Visual Haskell is a complete development environment for Haskell software, based on Microsoft's [http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us Microsoft Visual Studio] platform. Visual Haskell integrates with the Visual Studio editor to provide interactive features to aid Haskell development, and it enables the construction of projects consisting of multiple Haskell modules, using the Cabal  building/packaging infrastructure.

=== [http://web.archive.org/web/20140715033114/https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/vital/ Vital] ===
:Vital is a visual programming environment. It is particularly intended for supporting the open-ended, incremental style of development often preferred by end users (engineers, scientists, analysts, etc.).

=== [http://web.archive.org/web/20140715031927/https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/pivotal/ Pivotal] ===
:Pivotal 0.025 is an early prototype of a Vital-like environment for Haskell. Unlike Vital, however, Pivotal is implemented entirely in Haskell. The implementation is based on the use of the hs-plugins library to allow dynamic compilation and evaluation of Haskell expressions together with the gtk2hs library for implementing the GUI.

:FP Complete has developed a commercial Haskell IDE. (Now [https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2015/10/retiring-fphc retired]).

: It's in the cloud, and comes with all of the libraries on Stackage ready to go. (Basically, the Haskell Platform on steroids.) It's "in the cloud," which has its pros and cons.

: The standard IDE is in your browser, and has integration with Git and Github.  Emacs, Sublime and Vim support will be released soon. One particularly cool feature is that you can spin up temporary web servers to test out the Haskell-powered website you might be coding up. It's really easy, and you can pay for FP Complete to host your permanent application, too.

: There's a free trial, with free academic licenses and paid commercial licenses. There will be "personal" licenses in a few weeks (from early Sept 2013) as well, since the commercial pricing is a bit steep for hobbyists.

: Some of the features:

* Auto-completion.
* Hoogle searching of all of Stackage.
* Hoogling in the context of a module and its imports.
* Live typechecking/recompiling / jump to error.
* Hlint suggestions.
* Jump to definition.
* Auto-removal of unnecessary imports.
* Get type of any identifier (globally or locally defined).
* Show documentation of any symbol (via hoogle), or open haddocks.
* Refactoring.
* Build project, run project.
* Auto-code formatting.
* Run a temporary web service for testing web apps.
* Deploy project to an Amazon instance.
