Java. And the original poster was interested in C++ development, and Java is just one the things I work with. Eclipse has support for C++/C, Perl, Python, Ruby, UML and the list goes on (there are several hundred plugins). (This is probably one of the reasons that moving the framework to 1.6 is slow, the platform is hugely diverse). I currently working on some Perl stuff on Eclipse, something you cannot do with Netbeans. No one computing language is a universal solution to all problems, so integrating them in a common cross platform framework is generally a good thing, Eclipse is probably the only open source based framework that can offer an alternative to MSs Visual Studio. BTW just because it has problem running on the the 1.6 JRE does not mean you cannot run it on the 1.5 JRE and develop in the 1.6 JRE. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
