Since I use Eclipse for Java development already, I am considering trying this out. But before I do, is anyone here currently using Epic? Are there are complications with installing it for a workspace that consists largely of Java
projects?  Has anyone had any problems I should watch out for?


I use it every day. It has no impact on Java projects, and it co- exists nicely. The only issue I have seen is that if you use the stable release, you have to manually add what directories to include for the perl path. Supposed 0.6 doesn't have this issue.

For instance, if you have a standard CPAN module FooBar with a lib and t directory, you will need to create the project, then open the properties for the project. You'll see "Perl Include Path". You can add multiple directories here. If you named you FooBar module "FooBar" for the project name, you need to add:

${resource_loc:/FooBar/lib}

This will then make the contents of FooBar/lib accessible from PERL5LIB for any code you view, including your unit tests in the t directory.

You can also setup multiple modules to include on another in this way. If you have FooBar2 and FooBar3, you can add:

${resource_loc:/FooBar2/lib}
${resource_loc:/FooBar3/lib}

If you are using locallib for additional modules, you can add that with either a physical, exact path, or something like:

${env_var:HOME}/src/my_perllib/perl5

Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any other questions--I spend quite a bit of my day in EPIC ;-)
