First off, what was your reasoning behind switching to eclipse? I’m personally interested.
Secondly, netbeans and eclipse will provide the exact same functionality apart from how they perform as an IDE. It’s the same java, same virtual machine on the CRIO and same deployment technique. So, it will be the same through both IDEs.
Yes, I was able to get Eclipse working with the Robot. Our team did all of our programming in the Eclipse IDE, and were able to load code on to the robot, as well as edit code through eclipse.
