Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am very glad to hear that you haven't faced the problems we and many other teams have. We have learned through bitter experience that to deviate from the hard learned rules only results in many wasted hours reloading Eclipse etc. Your posting actually helps me to highlight another point.

Due to the highly random nature of the problems with the FRC IDE, the playing field is most definately NOT level at all.

I hardly think that it is in the spirit of Gracious Professionalism that our team should lose 1 week of our build season whilst other teams happily have no problems at all.

On the other hand, Solving problems and dealing with all eventualities is what we do best.

If you Google these problems you'll find many that we are not alone.
