We have a pretty large project and if anything weird happens, Eclipse
takes over an hour to rebuild the project... also, it randomly hangs and
throws an error message stating that the system could not correctly
paste the text that I had just copied from the editor and at that point,
all hell breaks loose... it's like the graphics engine forgets where to
paint the text... and if I try to save at that point, I've got a 50/50
chance that it will save my changes without corrupting half the file...
when I restart eclipse, it has to rebuild my project...
I am using SFTP Drive 1.6 for my SFTP connection (which itself is a
little quirky...). I am not totally convinced that it isn't SFTP Drive
that is causing all the problems with Eclipse... However, I have never
had a problem using SFTP Drive with DZsoft's PHP editor (which is nice
but not as feature rich)...
So, with that said I figured I'd ask everyone if there is an alternative
to using Eclipse in conjunction with SFTP Drive... I am open to dumping
SFTP Drive if there is a viable option, or completely dumping Eclipse...
Thanks in advance for you thoughts and opinions!

Hi Jake,
Did you try/see Target Management (RSE)
http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/
"
Our first deliverable is the Remote System Explorer (RSE), a framework
and toolkit in Eclipse Workbench, that allows you to connect and work
with a variety of remote systems, including
* remote file systems through SSH, FTP or dstore agents (seamless
editing of remote files including remote search and compare),
* remote shell access (compiling with error navigation),
* remote process handling through dstore agents,
* and remote debugging through CDT / gdb / gdbserver.

I will surely give that a shot!
With some careful testing, I have discovered that it is not Eclipse
quirkiness that I have been experiencing... but rather it is the
interaction of Eclipse and SFTP Drive. Eclipse seems to rely on the idea
that the drive your project is hosted on is a persistent drive. Sftp
Drive attempts to emulate that, but as with all network/internet based
software it does not always work... It seems that as soon as SFTP Drive
starts to act up, causing the network based drive to have instability,
the Eclipse just has a knee-jerk reaction and crashes. When this happens
to me, I looks upwards of an hour while Eclipse has to slowly rebuild my
project.
So, I guess I would like to rephrase my question from "alternates to
Eclipse?", to "Alternates to SFTP Drive?". There have been a couple of
suggestions relating to this, but I figured I'd toss this out there and
see what others suggest... Our development environment lives on a
remote server, there is no option to bring that environment to the local
machine due to the extreme nature of our back-end database. We have to
use SSH SFTP to access that information. So maybe a solution is to find
an Eclipse module that handles SFTP access directly from within the
software.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Hey Piotr,
I wish that were an option... there are just too many complexities of
our software to allow for that at this time... I appreciate the thought
and the explanation of the nature of PDT. It makes a lot more sense now.
