Purpose: Tools and Hints to use Eclipse Platform as an integrated IDE for Tcl development.
RMSB why should we use a bloated IDE like Eclipse to develop in Tcl? I thought the point to develop in Tcl and other "agile", lightweight languages (call it scripting if you're in the mood) was exactly to avoid stupid and redundant bloated development environments like Java ones....
i refuse to use anything more bloated than XEmacs... :)
Look at it this way: why should someone who has chosen to do all their development in Eclipse be denied the ability to use Tcl in the work environment of their choice?
RLH thinks out loud: I guess if you already used Eclipse for Java, then it would benefit the developer to be able to develop using Tcl in Eclipse. "One IDE to rule them all," and all that rot. I prefer something lightweight, myself. On the other side, every other dynamic language has a plugin for Eclipse, why not Tcl as well.
