Eclipse: we have a new teammate named Jeff Martin!

Hey all,

Wanted to let you know that we've expanded our PropGCC team to include one of our own: Jeff Martin! Jeff has produced our other IDEs for Propeller and BASIC Stamp, and he's been watching the PropGCC project closely. Eclipse is something new to Jeff and he's been studying it for the last couple of weeks. Now, he's part of our team.

Jeff welcomes any initial tips you might have about the basics of Eclipse, if there are any.

Our goal is to get the front end up and running in the month so we can have it ready for a beta. I realize I need to talk to jazzed and team about GDB concurrently since that will need to be part of the front end.

Welcome, Jeff!

Ken Gracey

    Did you know, if you CTRL click on anything in Eclipse it finds the file that item is in and opens it for you? =)

    Did you know, that Eclipse spell checks your code and syntax checks your code on the fly as you type?

    My 2 cents,

    Welcome Jeff! I haven't ever used Eclipse but I'm looking forward to trying it!

    I have had almost no luck trying to get various Eclipse plug ins to work. Mostly it seems to be a result of unsolved dependencies, and I couldn't figure any of them out. I hope that the Prop GCC will work without that issue.

    Eclipse has user defined templates :smile::thumb:

    SRLM:

    I had similar a problem with the C/C++ version, since they ship without a compiler. When
    installing MinGW C++ or older microchip plugins, one problem was Eclipse was
    supposed automatically identify the compiler. Except it didn't always work out that way.
    By setting the path manually solved it for me. Later Wascana took care of those problems.
