Eclipse Programming

[Andy_Hollywood]

Hello

has any one here programmed plugins for the eclipse platform??

as i'm looking at porting some of my application to the platform as it provides a lot of benefits that i couldn't write to any greater standard... why reinvent the wheel?!

so, has anyone written any plugins and did they have any serious problems? what kind of time / skill is required to say port a simple view, say a Tree into the ecelipse framework?!

Cheers

Andy

Nope.

I switched over to NetBeans but havent been able to write a lick of code due to setup problems. I think i might just switch back to eclipse.

was netbeans easy to program for? i assume its the same concept?

For some reason, there have been A LOT of people with problems concerning netbeans.

I thought netbeans was kind of complicated..Just too much stuff there. I personally like just using a V.A.T.E. and the command line.

I love the intelly sense in NetBeans. But I often have to uninstall it, and reinstall it because of weird problems at start up (pop up boxes that don't make sense). But this time is the first time I am trying NB 4.0. And so long I am happy with it, even if it is VERY slow.

If you don't need the Inteli Sense, then JCreator is a great alternative. Much faster. And don't have these oddities.


I think the reason for NetBeans beeing so slow, is because it is written in Java..:P

Exactly.

My favorite is JEdit(also written in java though). I was pointed to it by someone on this forum, and I've stuck to it ever since. I've never really liked using IDE's, and I don't know why.
