Eclipse IDE for 2012 Java Programming

[java4first]

Has anyone found where the plugins for this are available? I've been through the WPI site as best I can without much success. I know that NetBeans is the preferred IDE (by WPI), but when I spoke to Brad about a month ago I thought they were still going to support Eclipse (I can live without the wizards).

Well it doesn't look like the 2012 version of the plugin is available. At least I haven't been able to find it. The link for the provider is here if you wish to use the one from last year in the meantime or maybe wait for it to get updated.

If anybody has a link to an updated version, please shoot it this way; I'm in the same boat.

Yeah... we've been focusing on Netbeans and added plugins to create command-based robot projects. We'll post a message later with the status of the eclipse plugins for 2012. I know it's not eclipse, but the Netbeans plugins are pretty nice.

Is it possible to use the netbeans plugin for eclipse?

Unfortunately, they are completely different formats between the two IDEs.

I agree the NetBeans plugins are very nice - but for various reasons we'd prefer to use Eclipse. I'm not asking WPI to create a parallel set of all the wizards, etc. for generating the new commands-based framework; just the basics of being able to build, deploy, and run an Eclipse robot project with the new library(s). Copy and paste to get the new classes in Eclipse will be fine. Thank you in advance!

No, no, it's OK to ask. We'll probably have a plugin up soon.

If you just want to compile in Eclipse, you can have one person get the NetBeans plugin and copy the jar file elsewhere/distribute it to the team. Then your Eclipse project points to that jar. And the Ant script to build in Eclipse like in 2009/2010. Not as simple as a plugin, but should tide you over until it is ready.

Brad,
Any update on an ETA for Eclipse plugins? Since we've used Eclipse in the past, that would be the easier path if we know it will be here soon. Just trying to plan. Thanks for all your hard work.

I've been watching checkins... hopefully soon, maybe today or tomorrow.
