Programming Tools: Eclipse 3.0.1 (Linux Journal)

[Posted October 5, 2004 by ris]

Linux Journal looks at Eclipse. "Although Eclipse was written in Java and has a well-developed Java IDE, I was curious to see how it would work with languages other than Java and C++. A feature currently in beta testing, pydev, provides a Python IDE within the Eclipse platform. Given the beta nature of pydev, incorporating it into the Eclipse platform went quite well. I tested pydev on some projects I am developing, and it worked adequately. In the future, the promise of Eclipse and its rich set of features makes it a viable contender for a Python IDE."

Eclipse looks very promising and I have done some experiments with using it as an IDE frontend for subversion based projects (using subclipse plugin) and it got my interest ... but more importantly I need a better IDE to use as a frontend to bitkeeper based kernel trees. Any chance we could get a writeup on using eclipse for Linux (kernel, bitkeeper) development?
