I would very much like to know more about the possibility of using eclipse for this purpose. But nearly everything I have read about eclipse on the web has tended to turn me off. Although there appears to be an emphasis on open source in the eclipse projects, the content of the web sites I have visited tend to look more like commerical java promotional material from the IBM-era than "real life". ;) But maybe I don't have the right information. Can you suggest a place to get more information about eclipse? Where and how to download it? How to use it for somethig approximating emacs? In general a good source of information? Thanks.
