I've noticed that this newsgroup has almost become
comp.lang.idl-workbench lately. Now I haven't taken the dive
into IDL 7.x yet, so I have nothing substantial to contribute,
but I wonder it anyone is using the eclipse docs to solve the
workbench problems.
The IDL workbench seems to always be referred to as the "IDL
workbench" - is that because it is so heavily modified that it is
no longer recognizable as the eclipse workbench? One reason I'm
considering looking at IDL 7 is that eclipse might looks like it
might be a good multi-platform and multi-language tool, but if
the workbench is that different, I'm not sure it is worth trying
to teach my old emacs-brain new tricks for just one language.
So I'm curious - has anyone had success with understanding the
workbench using eclipse documentation? If students (without
years of emacs-damaged reflexes) already have eclipse experience
when they start with IDL, will it help them?
