I am using Eclipse in a way I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere.
I have a Java background and previous experience with Ant (ant.apache.org).
Not wanting to learn makefile magic,
I wanted to stick to Ant for my C++ project. So, I am editing in Eclipse,
building with Ant, using the Microsoft
C++ compiler. In many ways it works fine, but has some shortcomings.
First, I cannot use the ant script (.bat file) as build command. So, I have
to settle for rightclicking the build.xml file,
and start the build process from there.
Debugging is also not working, but I imagine I'll just switch to MSVC6.0
when I'm debugging. I also expect to be
doing most of my debugging with log statements (log4cxx), so I don't think
that will be too much of a problem.
Source code completion works sometimes, but is a bit slow, and I don't
always get the results I want, perhaps this is
because I cannot build within Eclipse (using make?)
On the good side, I can use one build tool for everything, (including
creating wrappers for my Matlab code with mcc),
can use an environment I'm familiar with, and don't have to fiddle around
with dialog boxes in MSVC6.0. MSVC
happily lets me debug the binary I have built with Ant, even though the MSVC
project isn't set up perfectly, it appears.
Anyone else have experiences with something like this? Suggestions for
improvements?
Regards,
