That's good to hear. I've heard nothing but great things about Eclipse.

I didn't know that it was so easy to extend, though. I thought that you
had to compile a plug-in and install it?

To contrast, in Emacs, you can just switch to the *scratch* buffer, type a
couple lines of code, hit ctrl-c, ctrl-e, and now that code is active in
your system. Another benefit about it being that quick is that you can
revise the code as you work. For instance, when I first wrote that "function
tracer", I forgot to include the "static" keyword. The first I time I traced
a function with "static" in it, it didn't work, but it took literally 10
seconds to fix and keep coding.


This does sound cool. I bet a scripting engine like this could be added to
eclipse jdt and it would be cool.
