Contrary to popular belief disk space is not an infinite resource. On the other hand memory is even more precious. And, of course, Eclipse seems completely incapable of transferring a set up from one version to the next so going from 3.6 to 3.7 will require a reinstall of everything -- very annoying and so inferior compared to IntelliJ IDEA, but an opportunity to drop stuff. I'll do the install and give it a spin. > If you do try it I'd be interested in any feedback on experiences > (positive/negative) with having the extra plugins around. All feedback will be Gant-related for now, since GrEclipse and GPars are currently incompatible :-(( -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
