Re: [Eclipse] EPICS IDE plugin

[Pavel Masloff <pavel.masloff@gmail.com>]

Andrew,


Thanks for advice - I won't use this plugin =] 
At least I have learned some Eclipse basics.

Do you know - I have read somewhere - that it is likely to combine EPICS IDE and CSS in the future in one application. Because it would be useful for people who are not very much into creating applications from the command line. Sort of "all in one" control system.

Thanks,
Pavel

The EPICS IDE Plugin is probably not worth installing, I don't know of anybody
who actually uses it.  It was written several years by an developer who has
since retired, and as far as I know nobody else has ever looked at his code,
certainly nobody is maintaining it now.  It is mostly just a GUI wrapper for
the makeBaseApp.pl script that comes with EPICS Base, and not a comprehensive
one at that.

Don't waste your time on it.
