For developers I would recommend running mgmt server on OSX or their host os, so they can develop, build, debug, fix with a good IDE like IntelliJ CE. > Am I supposed to develop directly on Ubuntu in > DevCloud (and, as such, should not use Eclipse). Should I just ignore > DevCloud completely and develop everything on OS X? Yes you can it's up to your convenience. I prefer OSX these days for all development and dogfood on DevCloud for a throwaway host+storage setup. The new DevCloud is debian based, so I don't understand what you mean by -- "... develop directly on Ubuntu in DevCloud ...".
