I've tried to use a syntax colorer plugin but I found it problematic and I removed it. Actually I use prgs with "C editor". Not perfect but good enough. I've changed the format of Harbour's error messages to be the same of gcc to have the error description directly in the source editor. Also after Przemyslaw .d management addition working with Eclipse/Harbour is much like using an interpreter: if you start the app inside Eclipse it rebuilds it if necessary and also it looks at the related projects so what you do is edit and run. The real pluses of Eclipse are the support of almost every technology like XML, JS, Php, SQL, project managements ( TODOs, tasks ) and since it's used in many courses of CS so it's easier to start with a new employee but I'm not sure about the support of C compilers like bcc or msvc. Add support to a language require Java programming, since it's not only about syntax but also profiling, searching and so on. There are some resources about it. There is also a Dynamic Language ToolKit DLTK that's used to create ide's for dinamic languages like PHP, scheme ( see the doc ). I'm not sure if Harbour fit in this paradigma. Personally I'm not interested in hbide ( even the much larger PHP community has moved to Eclipse ) or to add Harbour support to Eclipse. Of course it'll be nice to have it but I think we have not enough resources for this. As you said we need more things like GUI, SQL, XML, Web integration ( Apache module ). IMHO as it is Harbour is only useful for ex Clipper developers that have a lot of CUI code to maintain. The IDE is the last problem I see. best regards, Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
