From a neutral perspective, which is better, apples or oranges?

Truthfully, nobody can giee a neutral perspective on IDEs that compile
completely different platforms. Eclipse is free and Java. VS.NET is not free
and .NET. If you are compiling a J2EE application, Visual Studio really,
really sucks. But, Eclipse is the same when you are compiling C#.

I worked with both, both have pros and cons. But both are very good IDE's.

What's missing most in Visual Studio are things like refactoring where
Eclipse is very good.

But generally, to develop Java, take eclipse, for .NET take Visual Studio.
If you use Visual Studio, think about extending it with ReSharper and it's
perfect.

As others have said, you're in some ways comparing apples with oranges.

Having said that, I'm doing a lot of development in both Java and .NET
at the moment, and I find myself missing Eclipse features when coding
in VS.NET 2003 far more than the other way round. Hopefully VS2005 will
improve this somewhat though...

I want to upgrade the Mandrake 9.1 to Mandrake 10.1 and everyone told me that clean install is better than upgrade, so I must create backup of my java software (j2sdk and Eclipse) and return back after I install new Mandrake. How do you do that? Where you install j2sdk and Eclipse and how to return back to a new Mandrake?

Read through python site for programming tool, really plenty of choices :-) (For c++, I just can't breath with very very limited choices) Tried Spe, it come with wxGlade built-in very nice(is Spe still actively develop?). But seem that Boa Constructor and PyDev(the plug-in for Eclipse) also worth looking. Actually which one are you guys using? and why? I think it is also valuable for those who are new to python as me.

Summary --------- I'm looking for a C++ IDE. If I'm going to learn something, I prefer it to be free-of-charge (preferably and open-source base), extensible (read: language independent, plug-in capable, etc), and platform independent. A broad community of support would be nice, too.

Hi, I am trying to figure out best testing tool for my project. I have narrowed down my requirements to two tools NUNIT and VSTS unit. But I have used neither and I have to use only one of them. Hence can someone who has used them before share his/her experience on them so that I can get a better idea and make a proper choice ? Any link or suggestions are also welcome. Thanks and Regards, Parag

Java is mature...however, a beginner may not stand any chance to compete against industry bigwigs. On the other hand, .NET is newer and gives newbies a relatively firm foothold, since there are hardly experienced ppl there. Also, I'm interested in computer security involving low level coding in C, C++. Which platform will be better for me keeping this in view?

Hi, i am using Eclipse (Platform Runtime binary) with PyDev and i was wondering if someone can help me with this: 1. I set breakpoints to a .py file and i have told Eclipse to open the Debug perspective when it sees that some .py file(s) of my project indeed contains breakpoints. So, i press F9, Eclipse starts, Debug perspective opens and i can use the debugger just fine. But when the app terminates, how can i tell Eclipse to switch...

hello, I'm writing in the Java forum, because I believe here I can find ppl comfortable with Eclipse. I'd like to install the PLDT plugin for Eclipse, but always run into compatibility problems... I downloaded the C/C++ Eclipse and unzipped the PLDT 2.0 plugin in the Eclipse directory. However, after restarting Eclipse there was no change, I think it didn't detect the plugin. Do you have a clue why this is so?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
