> Eclipse is a popular and very well-known IDE in the world of Java > development, utilized widely in many contexts, by beginners and experienced > teams alike. Although a relatively lightweight IDE, it features surprisingly > powerful indexing and code analysis capabilities, as well as useful tools, > among which are make and Ant integration. While the tools it provides are not > always as sophisticated as other IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA will likely come to mind > as one such competitor), the simplicity of using it, as well as the > reliability of this rugged IDE makes up greatly for the slightly less > advanced tooling. Eclipse requires very little starting infrastructure in the > workspace for all these features and indexing support as well, which makes it > a good candidate for developing on the JDK. > > This enhancement adds 4 extra targets to the make system for generating a > basic Eclipse Workspace that provides almost full indexing support for the > JDK, with varying levels as desired, from a minimalistic option only > including the JVM's sources, to generating a workspace with both Java and > C/C++ natures included, which allows for using Eclipse's ability to quickly > swap between Java and C/C++ mode to work on both native and Java sources at > the same time. Cross Compiling support is available, and in its entirety the > change touches very little of the existing make system, barring its own > Makefile within the ide subdirectory. > > Indexing capabilities utilizing the enhancement: > <img width="960" alt="java" > src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/32636402/197784819-67ec7de4-7e27-4f33-b738-59b75a9e4403.PNG"> > <img width="787" alt="escape" > src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/32636402/197784843-df8621a8-7b0a-42da-86f4-3afb92de0f71.PNG">
