It's on my list to try next. You're using Beaglebone's, right? Are you using Netbeans for cross compiling?

I haven't got to the beaglebone yet! It is sat on my desk staring at me, next to a Raspi + Getboard, an Arduino and strangely a Netgear gigabit card ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and how could I forget a tin of Stewart Luxury Scottish Fudge.
They Parallela boards are also still waiting, and now something else has got in the way. (more on that later... )

Well, I await to hear your further adventures. I've been having fun getting the onboard UART to communicate to an MEI bill acceptor, which uses mark/space parity to distinguish between commands, data, and final checksum byte. And of course, only odd/even parity is supported by Debian even though the hardware supports mark/space. Oh, that was painful, but success was achieved!

Please don't. It will spare you from several strokes and will allow you to have a longer life.
If you're interested in cross compiling, just use MonoDevelop. Honestly

Yeah. Using Eclipse is a painful experience. Even tabbing between documents. I didn't appreciate how nice it is that VS puts my "last visited" tab into the "tab back to this tab" slot, so I can easily bounce between two tabs. I have no idea what that feature is called or even how to describe it well, but I sure miss it in Eclipse.
And then there's the whole "you have to save the file before it compiles the latest changes" BS. Why can't it auto-save first? There's probably a configuration option.
The thing that I find most amusing (and annoying) is that the most useful command "build project" has no hotkey!!!

I wanted to test my Android article - so tried to remove Eclipse and start again.
I was so tempted to just leave it uninstalled and forget the article!
Still, my readers need me I want to win a prize.

I've have no idea what eclipse would call it (not invented here most likely); but tab Z order sounds right for any rational software stack.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah I really don't understand who uses it. Maybe people who have people dedicated to eclipse configuration. But it's just to cumbersome for it's own good.
|
|
|
|

On the plus side:
Eclipse allows you to browse backwards and forwards between code files more easily than VS.
It also auto-compiles when you save.
Customising perspectives is something that VS doesn't really do well.

It does rather put you off Android development, doesn't it?

I think it seems to be one of those projects that's got too big for its boots.
I think the new google IDE might be better - but it means you have to write in Java !

I dumped eclipse and switched to the new Android Studio. Far more productive even as a beta product.

But unfortunately for Java and not C++

Notepad++ is great for writing Java which can then be compiled using the command line.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

 Great summary. That's been my exact experience.

It is a rare beast is it not?
Especially the project configuration. It wouldn't be so bad, but it has to handle so many chip architecture!

Eclipse? Are you being seduced by the dark side?

I'm not sure 'seduced' is the right word. more like 'gang-raped'

If this is the first time you've used it, you should feel blessed that you've never had to use it before.

Eclipse does do a few things that VS doesn't do but it's still not worth the effort.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
