Thanks Lipska for reporting back. I personally find the eclipse UI frightening but I am unwilling to conclude that its eclipse and not me. By comparison, when I first heard of emacs, (about 20 years ago) the local guru would come in the morning and start emacs then go out for a smoke. When he came back it had finished started up. So the acronym: Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping made a lot of sense then. I guess today it would have to be Eight-hundred to make any sense. More to the point, it seems to me that eclipse was today what emacs was then -- seemingly too large but in time I expect it will not seem so large. So one more request from me: Can you try the refactoring support and tell us how it fares? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
