well I used it in the very beginning (I was still using jEdit at the time), but it reminded me too much of Visual Age, a 'tool' that put IBM definitely on my blacklist .. I'm a very convinced they hurt the Java developer community at large with that thing
the next time I tried it was a 3.0 milestone, and it crashed too much, had confusing nomenclature (importing a workspace before you can checkout from CVS or synchronize or whatever), and made me feel those IBM guys were once more trying to force their set of bad practices down my throat recently I tried it again for CVS, so I used it a while, but I'm back at wincvs because it's simpler and I don't need to worry "I hope Eclipse isn't doing something I'm not aware of in the background" .. which it apparently did: closing my workspace and reopening again would seem to lose things I had configured earlier this week I'm using Eclipse for the jBpm plugin, and once more I had errors I can't explain: after installing the plugin Eclipse closed without warning, next it could not open the sample file, selecting the 'outline' perspective closed my project apparently, etc... (granted, this all is probably due to the plugin) Eclipse is trying to solve too many problems at the same time, I just need code completion, code formatting, good navigation and something responsive one other thing that bothers me is the fact the screen is always divided into several panels, I'm sure you can configure that somewhere, but I just don't see the need for having it default that way ... with IDEA I can navigate to anywhere in the code without using the mouse once, same thing for adding code (implementing interfaces, abstract method and refactoring) too many times I have said "this is the last time I try Eclipse" ... but sometimes I go back to check it out (probably a bit biased though) I'm sure it does the job just fine for you, and that's cool ... personally I just don't feel like learning another IDE for no reason, I've been doing that since '92 and am fed up with it thank Jetbrains for their free open-source IntelliJ licences :-) -- Wouter Zoons - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.andromda.org/ _________________________________________________________ Reply to the post : http://galaxy.andromda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1474#1474 Posting to http://forum.andromda.org/ is preferred over posting to the mailing list! ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
