so being a Mac OS X user, I had always written my code in either XCode or
SubEthaEdit. However, there was a group Java project I was working on and they
tried to convince me to use Eclipse.
The good: it immediately shows when you have errors in your code, such as
undefined types (when you're missing an include), missing semicolons, etc, etc,
without requiring you to recompile. You can also run JUnit tests.
The bad: it is unbelievably slow on my PowerBook G4 867. In addition, it
seems to have some strange caching policy for files, so that if you modify a
file outside its environment, you have to "Refresh" your workspace for
it to notice it. What the hell? When I modify a file in Eclipse, the changes
show up in XCode immediately!
Verdict: too slow to use on my machine and has some really strange quirks.
Next time, I'll try to get a solution that wouldn't require running it to do my
work (i.e. run unit tests).
i was wondering why this was showing up since I don't use XMIND at all. turns
out that (at least on Mac OS X) using Eclipse will result in the tracker
thinking you're using xmind instead...strange.
Awesome. Ever time I have a 'crazy' day and try another IDE, I always come
crawling back to Eclipse :D. It doesn't seem to track my usage properly either
though...
@michaelforrest: same thing here, Eclipse is the App where I spend most of my
time (after firefox) and its not showing up, makes me look like a slacker. I'm
on a MacBook Pro
I used Eclipse fore PHP. It's a very powerful and flexible ide but, since
it's written in java, it tends to run a little slower than most native platform
ides. i use it on both mac and windows (which is, itself, a huge advantage).
Excellent IDE for most programming languages. Use Eclipse PHP for PHP, Aptana
for any html/css/xml and Ajax work (dojo compatible) and Subclipse for direct
Subversion integration.
It does all you want and you can use all kinds of great plugins. The IBM
version comes with too much utter crap though.
And it does creep up on your memory usage.
My best IDE. Who is that unknown developer. It's developed by Hundreds of
developers worldwide mainly by IBM. IBM donated initial codes to opensource
foundation called Eclipse Foundation.
Best
I simply can't get enough of this tiny core which can be so easily expanded. It's simply a great IDE.

It's almost ok.
So so.

The best Java IDE...and with a lot of plug-ins!

Wakoopa doesn't seem to pick up my Eclipse usage on the Mac.
