a) you should rant about programmer(s). Exactly which one 'made a mistake'
remains to
be proven.
b) Eclipse is a complex IDE, CCW runs on top of it as a plugin, it's at the
mercy of the
other pieces it depends on to run correctly. Stating who made the mistake
requires
some deep digging.
c) If you added other plugins to the base image from the CCW download site, you
just
added more programmer(s) to the list above of potential 'culprits'.
d) If your project is in automatic build mode then it's a build issue, as soon
as you save it
rebuilds. That is an order of magnitude more complex than saving a file.
e) your context is an important factor of stability/instability and that cannot
be foreseen
by the 'programmer(s)' in every cases.
f) reporting the problem might be a pain in the ass to you but this how
software improves.
You can yell as much as you can privately, it may help get the pressure down.
I often do :)
Publicly it's something else. You better be certain that it will help things
rolling faster.
Here it's obvious that it does not help anyone, you the less.
When you are paying a huge amount of money, you can legitimately yell at your
suppliier.
Most clients don't which is odd considering the pile of crap shipped by many
software suppliers.
In the open source world, you do not have this leverage and if you do not
report the issue
nothing will ever happen to solve it.
