Re: Eclipse 3.2 support

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On the Eclipse 3.2 stuff, I can't remember exactly who it was at the 
WDSC kiosk at Common I talked to, but I think I was pretty clear on my 
need to get to 3.2 (it might have been Davis but my days at Common get 
to be a blur sometimes...not sure if she was a Spring Common).  
Originally I was looking at getting WDSC to 3.1.2 for my Eclipse so I 
could run MyEclipse but the WDSC folks said 3.2 was a more likely version.

I honestly haven't done a side by side comparison of MyEclipse 5.0 and 
WDSC.  I was impressed with the Matisse implementation but I should 
probably try some Swing development with WDSC.  We use Hibernate and 
MyEclipse 5.0 has some enhanced support for that.  Finally, the 
Javascript debugging was supposed to be improved in MyEclipse 5.0 (using 
Eclipse 3.2). Internally we have standardized on MyEclipse and there are 
probably only 3 developers who routinely move between Java and RPG.  The 
Java folks use MyEclipse, the RPG folks use SEU (but are moving to WDSC) 
so I guess we could theoretically move our Java folks to WDSC if  WDSC 
covers all the MyEclipse functionality.  I'll look into that and get a 
"sales pitch" ready.  Maybe I'll have one of the more experienced Java 
folks try WDSC and see what they have to say.
