Eclipse is an open source, full featured IDE for tool integration built by an open community of tool providers. Operating under a open source paradigm, with a common public license that provides royalty free source code and world wide redistribution rights, the eclipse platform provides tool developers with ultimate flexibility and control over their software technology.

Features[edit]

By default, Eclipse is designed for coding in Java.

Eclipse contains nearly everything one would want in an advanced, professional IDE.

List of Major Features:[edit]

Note that many of these don't apply to the UnrealScript plugin.

  • Syntax Coloring
  • Error checking:
    • Syntax error underlining.
  • outstanding support for plugins ([1]).
  • section folding (you can a button on the side that makes all but the first statement of a block of code fold up until you press it again)
  • Project-based archetecture.
  • Class, package, project browser.
  • Tasks list window (with TODO in comments, etc...)
  • Automatic, behind-the-scenes compilation.
  • CVS (concurrent version system, for team project managment)
  • JUnit support- A tool for automatically generating test methods.
  • JavaDoc based tooltips
  • Debugger features:
    • Stack trace window
    • Variables list (with thier current data)
    • hover tooltips contain variable's current data
    • Breakpoints can be configured. i.e. break only after instruction pointer has passed over it a given number of times.
    • Step, step into, step out, step over

| Jerome-X has developed a wonderful plugin to an amazing IDE. The plugin allows Unreal scripters to easily create and maintain Unreal scripting projects. Note
The plugin has basic features but is a Work In Progress. Many thanks to Jerome-X!

Jerome-X: Eclipse is mainly used for development of Java programs and J2EE applications, but there are increasingly new plugins being developed for eclipse, e.g. for C++ and lots of other languages. There hundreds of all kind of plugins available, see http://www.eclipse-plugins.info

The features that usable with the UScript plugin should be put in bold or something. Also maybe the features list should be divided into sections a little bit more
