Re: Teams happy with Wind River Workbench?

Team 25 used WindRiver for all our programming. It was a huge pain to set it up, but far less confusing than LabView. We had a friend from another team come and show us how to do a few things in LV. I've been a programmer for my team for the past 4 years, and I could barely make any sense of his "code."

A few gripes about WindRiver:
1. The setup is excruciatingly long, especially when using school-provided equipment.
2. The manual has more blank pages than useful ones.
3. WindRiver is "buggy" (not sure that's the right word). Some things like having to restart WV when it's not creating a .out file is really just irritating.

Overall, it's better than LabView, but it seems like someone took Eclipse, took away all its useful features, and sent it out to us.
