Eclipse

Eclipse is open development platform. I have been trying to learn it for a long time as it facilitates Android platform application development. I have got hands on it at last. It seems the tool is excellent and provides a lot of feature which I used to dream about.

I started it with Welcome page and tried to explore the different features starting from the view to creating a new Hello World application. Yeah the same one which was created by Brian Kerningham and Dennis Ritchie in C programming. It’s fun to create it a step by step procedures for Java.

Eclipse is really well thought application development environment having the following features.

- Different versions of the same components are easily available

- Project creation step guides

- File movement within the workbench

- Perspective concept thought it’s similar, but really well arranged

- Refactor feature for creating new functions from existing code

- Quick outline view

- Highlighting errors while writing the codes

- Tool finding the required import packages

- Hierarchy view of the project

- Look and feel is decent too and so on..

My personal suggestion is that it’s worth to try it. I will surely write about it in the future.
