Tim's mate Tod from OTI visited us back in XtC26101999. He has been working on Eclipse -- OliBye.

2.0.1

• Ability to change a project's CVS repository (like 1.0 used to allow)
• Ability to change a text to binary and vice versa in CVS.

• Now has full project / package / type / member view & it can show single methods VAJ style
• Integrated Junit framework. You can click on the junit stack trace and see the failing assertion in the code.
• Runs different VM's.
• Integrates with CVS (Extremely cleverly IMHO)
• Apparently uses the standard JDB debugging API.
• Displays diffs visual (And has an excellent merge tool)
• Knows about ant
• Does local versioning when files are saved
• Hot swap method replacement in the debugger. using 1.3

• Works if using OTI's J9 VM, which is OK for servers but not for Swing applications.
• Works ok in general but the JVM crashes more frequently than I remember in VisualAge. Tested under 1.2,1.3, 1.4beta1/2/3/rc1. MpC
• Not sure what this new deploy thing does yet.

• The CVS integration has been 'unhidden' more access to CVS functionality, not sure if that is good:) (Hmm, the CVS directory problem seems ok now in M5)
• Doesn't support full TeamStreams

• Doesn't show signatures of .class files.
• Won't navigate within jar files
• code formatting and highlighting not too great. (fixed IMO:) )
• If you have a project already in CVS and it has branches at non-root nodes you have problems, because Eclipse can currently only map to a CVS branch at the top level. MpC (Now fixed, you can import from any level)
• extssh cvs access works -- OliBye
