My experience is using Eclipse 3.0 M4 on Mac OS X on a project using 100 classes split in 4 different source directories within a complex, not modifiable, directory structure with lots of non-java files. With automatic compilation on, which is something that, if turned off, makes Eclipse almost useless to me, the task list updates sometimes stop, the code completion stops working or it takes too much time. Most of all there is no half-decent XML/JSP editor and because of SWT it's not possible to integrate something working, like for example the jEdit plugins, within Eclipse in a useful way. I think Eclipse would be much better on Swing and with a less windows-like pre-XP GUI so cluttered with icons. And way too many times the workbench configuration file gets corrupted... |
