I am a CS prof at NYU, which uses Java for CS 101. I have taught this |
| 2 |
course a few times and have learned Java as a result. During my |
| 3 |
sabbatical year (a coincidence? :-) )the department decided to teach the |
| 4 |
eclipse IDE. |

I have never used an IDE so though i should try now instead of waiting |
| 7 |
until september. |

merging eclipse-ecj was painless and sure enough it does seem to compile |
| 10 |
my programs. It even noticed that I didn't close a scanner. |
| 11 |
I can still use javac if desired. Fine. |

I have not yet merged eclipse-sdk. Must I merge this? The only version |
| 14 |
in the main tree is masked and it brings in 83! packages. |

Others in the dept (and students) praise the eclipse debugger. I don't |
| 17 |
see how I will be invoking it. Also what about the eclipse editor? |

I guess, I need to be pointed at the right documentation. I went to |
| 20 |
wiki.eclipse.org but am not sure where to go to from here. |
