I see that there is something already ongoing about this problem, and as
a first approach the "insectivore" plugin looks very promising for my
needs, but i would like to see that kind of support integrated into
official eclipse.
But if i'm allowed, i'd like to add a couple of last things to discussion.
Yes, insectivore works fine. I just adopted it when I saw the reply to
your answer. :-=)
One last thing, since before i talked about a unofficial plugin, i wish
to point out a thing that is not closely related to this question, but
has been one of the problems that has prevented up to now the adoption
of eclipse by our group.
When you install some unofficial plugins, you must put them into the
"catch all" plugin directory, and after a while you just forget what you
installed.
What most of us that have experimented with eclipse found rather
annoying is that when you install a new release you must manually spot
out from plugin directory what you extra installed there to replicate
the same installations to the new release.
Would it be so complicated to allow for, let's say, a "user plugin"
directory in parallel with the base product one, so that one can easily
see what is official and what is not?
This is possible since Eclipse 1.0:
use the -plugin parameter:
eclipse -data myworkspace -plugins /home/leberre/.plugin-path
with /home/leberre/.plugin-path
platformPath=file:/home-local/eclipse/plugins/
pluginDevelopmentPath=file:/home/leberre/eclipse/plugins/
the first path is the standard eclipse platform plugin path.
the second one the user plugins path.
Now nothing prevent your group to adopt eclipse :-=)
Well, when anything else has failed read the instructions.
When things like this happens i always wonder why while spotting bugs i
always miss the elephant on which bugs lay.
The only thing i can say is that time constraints never gave me chances
for an indepth analysis of eclipse capabilities.
Up to now i always tried to import projects already started and when
experiencing difficulties i had to quit, but this time i'm trying to
start a project from scratch and i'm really impressed of java editor
capabilities.
Pls. just forget the second part of my reply.
Gabriele.
