I have to chime in here and say that MyEclipse isn't about saving money on plugins. I can't say with absolute certainty, but I'm pretty sure that ever plugin MyEclipse comes with is freely available. What MyEclipse does is pre-integrate them. I pay my $50/yr and never have to worry about finding all that crap and it's dependencies. I could set up a similar environment myself, no question, but it'd take at least an hour or three, which means it's more expensive than MyEclipse.
If you look at TCO, MyEclipse is still an amazingly good deal. cheers, barneyb On Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 8:19 PM, Adam Haskell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > MyEclipse is not worth the price, especially with the onset of WTP from > eclipse foundation, and some other nice plugins.
