I've tried eclipse several times over the years, each time I came to the same conclusion: it's written and maintained by java developers, and the support for C++ was extremely hard to find, if at all (that may have improved). The main reason I never started to use it is that it has (or had?) an integrated editor. They wish syntax highlighting (me too), they wish being able to collapse functions (I think) (I don't care, I navigate differently than by scrolling over my code, lol) and so on... resulting in a heavily integrated editor that you can't replace with one of your own. My demand for an IDE is that I can use vim and ctags, and that was not possible when I tried it (or so badly documented that I couldn't find out how). I doubt that my own developing environment is worse than eclipse. I use my shell functions and aliases to speed up things, still working from the commandline but at least as efficient and powerful. Yes, I have to type "vi " a lot, and then double-click and paste and hit return to get to the source file and line where the last compile error is, but that takes me 0.5 seconds and it never bothered me in the least. Overview of classes and inheritance is delivered by doxygen if you need it, syntax highlighting and code navigation is integrated in vim (plus a whole lot more) etc, and top that off, I use good old grep to find anything and everything in a code base no matter how large that is. -- Carlo Wood <ca...@alinoe.com> _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
