JPage

Eclipse feature of the day - JPage. Turns java into an interactive language. I am really starting to see the influence of IBM's smalltalk guys on the design and coding of eclipse. Everything from the utilisation of native widgets in the Eclipse UI to how the JPage interactive environment reacts to printing out interactive requests.

Kinda reminds me of Jython in a way.

Flu to avoid

I've decided I don't like winters. Second day in bed. Well, actually, its my fourth. But the weekend doesn't count right? :P

Anyways, I've decided the eclipse editor is pretty damn cool. Between the ease of using the refactoring wizards, and little things like having little red boxes alongside the editor's slider highlighting where errors lie, its an all round nice environment. Oh, and the command line environment colourises the output lines blue or red depending on whether the lines came from stdout or stderr.

I suspect I am actually going to have to read up on Eclipse to figure out how to really use it. Need to figure out things like CVS integration - which netbeans did a reasonably good job of. The biggest change I have noticed is that Eclipse doesn't spin out of control. Netbeans had a tendency to occasionally get its panties in a twist and need a cold reboot to try and sort it out. Joys of multi-threaded programming really.
