Fabien:
The text editor I use to code on Windows(ConText) has, similarly, a fairly outdated IDL highlighter. Turning your question around, what is it about Eclipse that means I would want to use it instead? I went on the Eclipse website but was a bit overwhelmed by the large number of links/projects there (did not know where to start looking). I had not heard of Eclipse until you mentioned it.
(Basically all I want is a text editor with a syntax highlighter and ideally the ability to save to a network drive. On my Mac I use TextWrangler, but there is no Windows version of that.)
Thanks,
Andy
