Last night I ran through a couple of the tutorials for Eclipse CDT, the C/C++ development tools for the open-source Eclipse IDE.
Impressions:
- I didn’t see automatic code completion, along the lines of what the Visual Studio products offer. Am I missing something?
- Eclipse still strikes me as a bit over-complicated. Perhaps this is because it is so powerful and because it’s a framework which can be adapted to do so many things. In any case, it feels “heavy” and uses a lot of new terminology like “workspaces”, “perspectives”, etc…
- Outline view was pretty neat.
- Is there an Eclipse book or doc out there that is not totally Java-centric?
