Eclipse Development

[cjelly]

I just realized that I'm a bit late on that last post, but anyway, if you need any help developing the thing, let me know.

Wow...I know I'm kinda late in the proccess here but I think this is a great devolpment. I started using Eclipse in my programming classes in college and am in love with it. I helped out with the programming back in the day and I know how big of a headache MPLAB could be. I don't have any real experience writing extensions but I'm going to install the beta version on my box and try it out.

Great job guys

I'm wondering what happened to this project. I've decided to switch from Visual Studio to Eclipse for most of my general coding primarily because I remember hearing a while a go that it's possible for me to code for FRC in Eclipse. By the way, will this project be able to load code onto an RC directly from Eclipse on a Win64 or Win32 system? I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit here at home and our team uses a Win2k laptop, a WinXP 32-bit desktop, and two Win2k desktops. As one of the programmers I end up coding at home and on the laptop mostly. I'm just wondering just how much needs to be done for us to get a working beta before the start of the next season.

I've gotten the Eclipse IDE, but it won't work on my computer. It says I need the Java Virtual Machine 1.5 or higher, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone get me a link to where I can get it from?

BTW, it says I have JVM 1.4.2_14.

The current version of Java is Version 6 Update 3. Here is the link for the latest version of Java.

It says that I am up to date on the latest download.

I got curious and looked in my hard drive. What I found was that right in the C Drive was the file Eclipse keeps referring to what I have. Moving into my program files, I found the Java folder. Here's what I found. Now what? Any ideas?

Just delete everything in your Java folder except for the JDK 6.01_03 and JRE 6.01_03. Java doesn't remove old versions when it updates, since some Java apps require certain versions of the JVM. The good news is that clearing out all of those old ones will probably free up a gigabyte or more of storage space ^_^

My team is all linux right now, and we currently use emacs with the configure python script. I have limited knowledge in eclipse, but would like to help out with this project. I hope its still alive!

However, I keep hearing that FIRST will switch RCs in 2009. Nobody seems to know what this means exactly, but I hope it will still work with this plugin.
