> 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 Java Virtual Machine's source code, to generating a workspace > with both Java and C/C++ natures included, which allows for using Eclipse's > unique ability to quickly swap between Java and C/C++ mode to work on both > native and Java sources at the same time.
