(I'm actually currently stuck in the world of .NET and C# and the exit doors are NOT clearly marked.) So the Eclipse is for another project. I loaded it up and saw the splash screen...immediately thought I accidentally downloaded some odd international version thanks to the "Europa" designation. When I realized what was going on I felt really silly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04298171509482378614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-5168910503573653302008-02-03T15:46:00.000-05:002008-02-03T15:46:00.000-05:00Thanks for the site ref Nick.I've already started ...Thanks for the site ref Nick.<BR/><BR/>I've already started studying up on the key combinations, as I'm frustrated with using the mouse.

Eclipse is great, a definite need for todays developer. It is an all in one shop for most languages and technologies. Plugins make it all happen, that said, it is never a matter of installing all the needed applications, it is the missing Extensions/Plugins/Add-ons that drive me nuts. One thing I started doing with my del.icio.us account and my bookmarks is to build simple list of must have apps and addons. That way all I have to do everytime I setup a new machine (or re-format and install my current) is go to one place and download all the needs. I've got a list of like 10 extensions for Firefox, another 10 plugins/features for Eclipse, some for Thunderbird, a number for my media players, and there there are system/OS dependent ones (Mac/Linux no windows if I can help it, but Wine...)... Back to Eclipse... take the time to go through <A HREF="http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com" REL="nofollow">http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com</A>, you'll find many great additions and tools to solve most needs to the point Eclipse will become a definite standard on your machine.NickChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247600634502111298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-31544732681595298702008-02-03T11:39:00.000-05:002008-02-03T11:39:00.000-05:00Welcome to the 21st century.Welcome to the 21st century.Mark Helmstetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871755939223889985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-14822772139317829172008-02-03T10:48:00.000-05:002008-02-03T10:48:00.000-05:00Thanks - that's a good lead, and some appreciated ...Thanks - that's a good lead, and some appreciated encouragement :-).Ben Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833753747177544979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-44186450606366927992008-02-03T09:55:00.000-05:002008-02-03T09:55:00.000-05:00fear not, eclipse has great emacs keybindings!fear not, eclipse has great emacs keybindings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
