Eclipse one of the best IDEs I've ever used. Yes, it's written in Java,
but Eclipse uses SWT rather than AWT or Swing. SWT is different because
rather than trying to emulate some native widget functionality, it uses
the native GUI as much as possible. The only widgets that are emulated
are those which do not corresponding native widget.

Eclipse is implemented in Java isn't it? Uh oh. I've worked with a few
Java GUIs on Windows and I've never seen one that works anywhere near as
well as native applications.

Still, on the bright side, it will probably be an improvement on Unix...

something that makes life better, sooner ;-) ), good to know. Thanks.

When you say that it is based on Eclipse, what do you mean? Will it
just look similar to Eclipse or will it be able to actually integrate
into Eclipse? I use Eclipse for all my non-IDL code and having and IDL
module right there in Eclipse would be very sweet indeed.

Thanks for the update. Can we assume that 7.0 is the next release, or
will there be 6.4 etc. first?

Shouldn't that be ITTVIS? ;-)

My comment based on an "advance peek" at some things RSI were looking at
shipping in 6.3, then (Summer 2005) scheduled for March 2006. As it
happens, 6.3 didn't ship until April/May, and when it arrived there was
no new editor etc. with it. I don't know if it's been shelved, delayed,
or what.

Pete.

I already use eclipse to manage my code, both IDL and non-IDL. It's
great, and I have it running in both XP and linux environments with no
problems. It's CVS handling is pretty sweet too...

If RSI/ICRNA[1] are reading this and looking for beta testers, I'd be
happy to oblige...

Hi Ben

which other version control systems were implemented?

Is for example mercurial (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial) available too?

cheers
