What does Eclipse bring to the table for U2 Developers? (Slightly paraphrased). Eclipse is an IDE that has plug-ins. These plug-ins can do many things:
1) Editing programs, dictionaries and data 2) Version control using standards like CVS, SVN, GIT, Perforce, & Team Foundation 2) Resizing database files 3) Installer for database files, dictionaries, procs, paragraphs, and programs. 4) Web Developer 5) U2 Administrator functions 6) Other plug-ins for languages like PHP, C++, C, and many more. In addition to those plug-ins, Eclipse can be leveraged to do everything you can do from TCL/ECL. 1) Copy and Paste that is thousand times faster than COPY 2) Creating files, programs, dictionaries, procs, and paragraphs 3) Renaming files, programs, dictionaries, procs, and paragraphs 4) Deleting files, programs, dictionaries, procs, and paragraphs 5) Windows like explorer to see all of files in account instead of LISTFL 6) Ability to filter the explorer to see only the files you want 6) Ability to copy from U2 Databases to local for Version Control Miscellaneous: 1) IDE interface like Visual Studio and others 2) Learning curve is a few days to several weeks depending on prior IDE experience 3) Local history for all editor changes 4) Ability to have several accounts open at once 5) Built-in compare editor 6) Built-in search engine instead of ESEARCH There is real power, efficiency that can be gained from an Eclipse IDE. I've been using Eclipse IDE since 2004 and cannot believe what a better environment I'm in.
