I don't think that's available with Eclipse. Perhaps MyEclipse can support that through some plugin but I'm not sure.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the help.... Jos, i'll just read the prerequisites of vse..... then i'll give it a try.... i transferred from netbeans to eclipse to see the difference. I'm just curious..... as a developer which do you prefer netbeans / eclipse.... considering that netbeans is from sun..... java is from sun........ but survey says that eclipse is much preferred than netbeans..... which is better?


Thanks,

Best regards,
Jeff

This could very well start the fifth world war but I have used both for different projects and I prefer the control I have with eclipse.
Note also that both are not limited to Java development only but eclipse's support for other languages is greater through its more flexible plugin facility.
