Yes, Eclipse sucks. BTW, does anyone now know hard or easy it is to write plugins for Eclipse, especially plugins which generate code, or parse and/or modify code in code windows? I'd like to create a plugin which when given an activity class, and a layout, used as a view in the activity would generate typed members for all widgets and will write the code to find them, e.g. if there's a layout and 2 buttons w/ resource ids R.id.button1 and R.id.button2 in a nested layout w/ id R.id.buttonPanel, the plugin would generate the following code:
private LinearLayout mButtonPanel; private Button mButton1; private Button mButton2; and in onCreate it would insert: mButtonPanel = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.buttonPanel); mButton1 = (Button)mButtonPanel.findViewById(R.id.button1); mButton2 = (Button)mButtonPanel.findViewById(R.id.button2); This will avoid some hair-pulling errors I occasionally make (and probably other guys too). If writing plugins is not easy, I'll just create a stand-alone app which parses the layout file and creates 2 snippets of code ready to be pasted.
