Back and forth between Visual Studio [message #167656]

I have a project that I work on in Visual Studio, at work and Eclipse at
home. I don't want a debate about the two.

1. Has anyone done this? Tips? (I realize it won't be all that smooth).
2. Is there a way to make the editor pane 'float'. i.e., move it onto my
other monitor?

Thanks,

~S

I use this combination (VS6 on win32 + Eclipse on Linux) for cross
platform development and it works quite well. All I have to do is to
make a project organization that will suite best for me. In Eclipse I
havily use linked source files in project, because of specific source
code tree organization. I can not manage to have both CVS access from
Eclipse and such kind of project organization, but I think this is
specific problem, I can use CVS outside Eclipse and refresh projects
after update. In general, both IDEs can work on the same set of files.

Best regards,

Marko Nikolic

vs and eclipse use different files to store project-specific stuff (paths)
-- but the will be different on each platform, though, so it should not be
an issue.
because both ide use some kind of xml for these files you may be able to
write a converter if you need to transfer informations.

i don't think so. the best you may get is to detach (rmb on the tab) all
other views and move the remaining window.
maybe you should opne an enhancement request "make editors detachable".

I will note that I am using both VC++ and Eclipse/MinGW within the same
exact directories and using Subversion. It all has worked fine since they
do not use the same names for added files. The Debug and Release directory
contains both sets of files. You can change the .exe file name if you want
to have both co-exist. Subversion works well here since I have both added
files in the working sets.

I have run this way using a USB2 attached disk, so it is easy to transport
and continue working normally as I switch between home and work.
