I am a CS student, and use eclipse for java projects, and I can say it |
| 15 |
has some nice things to work java. |

The portage version of eclipse is old, I personally prefer to use the |
| 23 |
binary tarball from eclipse.org( It doesn't worth it for me having to |
| 24 |
compile a large old thing) |

Well I got used to vim before using java and eclipse, so its editor in |
| 30 |
my opinion sucks(after you have used a real editor), but fortunately |
| 31 |
there is eclim, which lets you use your favorite editor(vim or emacs) |
| 32 |
to code, and have acces to the nice features of eclipse, so it was the |
| 33 |
option for me when coding java. (None of eclim's versions work with |
| 34 |
the portage in-tree eclipse version, so another reason to use the |
| 35 |
binary tarball) |

I don't really like IDEs nor java, and avoid it most of the time, so i |
| 44 |
don't have much experience with it, but for a gentoo user who has been |
| 45 |
around sometime, I would strongly recomend the combination |
| 46 |
eclipse+eclim+your_editor, it would make you not hate the GUI, and get |
| 47 |
the nice features. |
