http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/1265/ The packages in ubuntu are outdated and so are the eclipse language plugins like CDT or Pydev.

Properly supporting this top notch IDE should give new linux developers an easier start.

Only problem I have experienced is the java configuration - whether use gnu java or sun's. For this it is needed a gui tool that is ebedde to general all in one configuration / control tool.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 11:13:35 +0000
Of course, I don't even think about using the ubuntu version and just get it from the website. Maybe that is the problem.

I suppose this is only high priority to the people who need it, but as a developer it would make my life easier if Eclipse was updated and higher on the priority list in general.]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 20:27:09 +0000 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:15:51 +0000 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:52:20 +0000 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 20:39:50 +0000 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:24:58 +0000 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:37:48 +0000
Honestly, it works so much better to just download from the eclipse website and just run that way. If there's not going to be a properly working version in the repos, why bother with packaging it?

(I have to use eclipse for class, and yest I agree it's somewhat bloated.)]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 19:42:16 +0000 Seeing as how it's free software I don't understand canonical's "refusal" to upgrade to it?]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:15:27 +0000 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:16:53 +0000 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 12:17:01 +0000 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:32:37 +0000 A: why does ubuntu need packages at all - lets keep everything updated by hand, like in windows...

Java is obviously great but there is also the Aptana plugin which most Web Developers are going to use if there on Linux because most powerful alternatives are for Windows.

I think this is one of the most crucial issues.]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 02:11:40 +0000 There are many NOT useful things in the repos - but an outdated Eclipse.]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 21:49:29 +0000
However, that's me. Many other people like it a lot; I have several coworkers who swear by it. Looking at the list of available IDEs does not show any that I feel are good overall candidates (partially because I am aware of none.) There are a number of IDEs I feel are much worse than Eclipse, and none that appear to be a decent replacement for it.

Putting the upgraded package into the repository and keeping it up to date shouldn't take a lot of effort. If it does, you're probably doing something wrong.]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:43:42 +0000
And yeah, gotta agree with the perl support, when I used that early eclipse 2, it did suck. Haven't tried it in eclipse 3 yet, but the things I have tried in eclipse 3 have been enormously better, and since it supports SVN really well, I can no longer use any other IDE really]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 01:25:07 +0000
PHP Development Tools in Ubuntu is lacking, big time.]]> Sat, 07 Jun 2008 19:18:50 +0000 Tried that with many others (KDevelop, Monkey,Edyuk) - you have to customize them to spit out a SIMPLE program, at least for qt. (Monodevelop and lazarus worked too).
It's a shame I'd like to start programming in C++, but Eclipse is the only one I could make a simple "empty" GUI executable.]]> Sun, 08 Jun 2008 19:37:18 +0000 ]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:51:15 +0000
Do we want developers to choose Ubuntu or not? I reckon Ubuntu will progress far faster if it makes it easer for developers to use. Besides, take a look at any of the repositories and you will find an unbelievable amount of shit that no-one is ever going to use.]]> Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:38:30 +0000 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:57:11 +0000

Apple puts 100% effort into supporting its developers, hence why it is quite popular with developers these days. Even Microsoft puts alot into helping developers. Other then the fact Apple as a company sucks, and recent moves, coding on OSX was very pleasant.


Ubuntu? Sorry, we only have CLI compilers, and we don't officially support Dtrace/systemtap any gui's for development, etc. Why would large development companies develop for an OS where there are no good officially supported tools?]]> Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:19:19 +0000
I am New to Ubuntu, I am only need to develop a database program for my company and I need a fast development tools like Visual Programming to learn and develop my programs.

A Visual Language tools made a faster growing software in Windows because a new bie can learn to develop a software faster and don't have to learn the installation package and the package depedency like in Ubuntu and don't have to an experience programmer because many book / ebook, source code and programmer ( not have to an advanced programmer ) can help the learning process faster.

Just a New Bie 2 Cent ... Which is busy searching & googling to find a good and easy to learn Visual Programming in Gnome.
I am only need a Visual programming Language with a database connectivity with many good ebooks and source code to search / googling. Why It's so hard to find :(
