Re: Eclipse Plugin
Thank you for your post... my team has been fortunate enough to be selected by FIRST to be an alpha tester for the 2015 control system and I am the lead mentor on that project... the initial plugins released for the alpha hardware was in fact for eclipse so hopefully it stays that way.
In either case I feel it is important for the students to learn how to set up build configs and ant scripts because that's what they will be doing once they become amazing software engineers and enter the working field.
Sometimes I feel that FIRST spoon feeds too much on the programming side or encapsulates too much of the information id like my students to learn first hand... but I completely understand the need to reduce the entry learning curve for this program to thrive and support rookie and rokkie-again teams.
