After being a mediocre Emacs user for many years, I recently switched to become a mediocre Eclipse user, mainly because of the continuos compilation feature. I still occasionally miss Emacs but less so every day.
Regardless of our common preferences, the log4j project needs to be IDE agnostic. The jar files, javadoc and the rest must be buildable by Ant.
As a side note, Erich Gamma the author, of "Design Patterns" gave a talk on Eclipse at the IBM Zurich Research Lab long before Eclipse became publicly known. I think very few people in the audience were interested in Eclipse nor expected it to become so successful. I was disappointed by the talk. I would have preferred E. Gamma to talk about Design Patterns, not some flaky IDE. With hindsight, I can say that it is hard to recognize success even when it stares you right in the face.

My home computer was infected by a virus early last week, effectively taking me out of commission at home. I had Norton Antivirus up and running, but it neglected to tell me that I needed to update my subscription to their virus db, so one slipped by and got me.
I have my computer back up and running, with a nice upgrade to Windows XP in the process, but my development environment is still messed up. I should be back up and running again in a few days. I'm going to try setting up Eclipse while I am at it. Does anyone have an opinion about it?
fyi, -Mark
