My Eclipse - not the car

A few people have asked about my IDE of choice. Well, if you are using a mac and you want a free, open source, highly extensible IDE with cvs integration, there aren’t many choices around for you to choose from. So here I present my lovely Eclipse, oh my lovely Eclipse.

I have a love and hate relationship with this thing. It can be darn slow sometimes, especially when you install like 3 or more plugins with it. But when everything is well and swell, it does what it is supposed to do best - lets you write and manage your codes. I code, debug, trace and re-test. And then I commit. Eclipse handles this process smoothly (if there’s no sudden, disruptive ‘oh oh’ application crashes).

I don’t know. If you are aware of any other better alternatives out there, please do drop me a line. Until then, I will try my very best to ensure a happy loving relationship with my E.

Here’s a screen shot that shows the list of plugins I’m currently using.
