Re: RDi & Eclipse -- WDSCI-L

I never had an issue, but that was with 8.0. I haven't tried 9.5 yet. Unfortunately, where I am right now has things locked down so tight that I can't install anything. I will look at my laptop when I get home and see there. I believe I have PDT loaded into RDi on that computer.

Any hints on installing PDT Mark? I cannot get it to work it just complains about missing components - some of which appear to already be there.

RDi is Eclipse based: Yes (starting at 9.5, it is based on Luna)
RDi can run Eclipse plugins: Yes, you need to add the update site for Luna, the location is http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna
1 workspace useable by both RDi and Eclipse Neon: NO, RDi 9.5 is based on Luna
Work in HTML, CSS, JSON, RDi concurrently: Yes as well as PHP (add the PDT project), Git, SVN, Nodeclipse, and many other environments. You just have to be happy with the least common denominator. That is usually RDi.

I don't generally (but I have) mix an match RDi with other environments like PDT or Nodeclipse because IBM is usually 2-3 releases behind. But having all my IDE's based on the same framework (Eclipse) makes working with multiple languages easier since I don't have to learn a new IDE for each. BTW, an interesting tidbit, Domino Developer is also based on Eclipse, but far more locked down.

Buck suggested something the other day that has taken this long to sink in.

RDi is Eclipse based. Yes, I remember reading that. What I sense that
Buck suggested, and had never occurred to me is that RDi can run Eclipse
plug-ins? So I can have 1 workspace, usable by both RDi and Eclipse
Neon? All projects can be available in RDi? So, I can work in RDi
with HTML, .css, and JSON files with an HTML editor, a .css editor, and
a JSON editor?
