Hi, I am just venting here…
I have been using myeclipse for many years now, but the upgrade to 7.0 really strained my nerves. I just lost *another* sunday morning fiddling with myeclipse instead of working on my projects.
Things that each cost me dearly in time and patience:
– Performance: figuring out that I need to disable capabilities to improve performance
– Fighting with the 0 delay hover in the (java code) editor
– Trying to install 3rd party plugins (jadclipse & regex tester) and finding out that this is not supported anymore!!! after another hour I found out how to install jadclipse via the update site that another user (!) provided. no solution yet for regex-tester (since I really don’t want to create my own update site).Cheers, Numain
P.S. basically the only reason I am using myeclipse (and paying the professional fee) is because of the matisse editor integration.
Numain,
Thank you for taking the time to share you comments with us (even though they point out some areas we need to improve in) — let me address each one.
Performance: figuring out that I need to disable capabilities to improve performance
Which capabilities did you disable? We are actually working to address this issue very shortly with a MyEclipse Lite distribution — you can build out the IDE any way you want.
Fighting with the 0 delay hover in the (java code) editor
This was most likely a change in the JDT — we don’t instrument the base Eclipse Java tools in anyway. I imagine there is a hover delay setting in the Preferences under Java > Editor somewhere.
Trying to install 3rd party plugins
Ahh, this is absolutely our fault and is being rectified very shortly with an update to Pulse to provide a major update to how plugins are managed from inside MyEclipse. This release has been in internal QA for about 2 weeks now, tightening and refining the code to make everything much smoother and easier to manage. We are looking at doing a release late this week or early next I believe once the release is tightened down completely.
We are really sorry for the delay with regards to adding 3rd party plugins locally — that was a bad strategic call on our part shipping 7.0 without that.
Hi,
I also installed jadclipse using update site ‘http://jadclipse.sf.net/update’ but when I try to open a class file its not getting decompiled. I tried to check file associations for *.class files but couldn’t find a JAD decompiler to link them to. Could someone please provide some pointers for getting this working.
Thanks and Regards,
Aarti
