[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Open-ils-dev Digest, Vol 74, Issue 41

[Kivilahti Olli-Antti]

The IDE topic has been of much interest here as well.
So far the search for the Grail led me to Komodo IDE via Eclipse + EPIC.
Eclipse + EPIC is a great tool, if you get it working properly. To do 
that you propably should use older eclipse versions which are more 
compatible with EPIC. Even if EPIC says it is compatible with the newest 
Eclipse, I still got the same crashing and freezing behaviour. Eclipse + 
EPIC works well on windows side.
On Ubuntu 11.10 the newest Eclipse works fine but older Eclipses had 
serious configuration settings failures, which led to reinstalls of 
workspaces in Eclipse (in my case).
Being fed up with windows generally being less optimal development 
environment for Perl, and EPIC constantly freezing|crashing in Ubuntu, I 
decided to try Komodo IDE. While being proprietary, it worked out of box 
with zero fuzz. It also has lots of useful functionality, like Perl 
remote coding|debugging. As IDEs, Komodo and Eclipse are quite capable 
with both having their ins and outs and I honestly can't say which one 
is better. If you come from Eclipse background, use it unless it gives 
you hell, as OS is OS, because OS.

Whatever you do, do not use vim or emacs  :D ,as the main programming tool.
Debuggers in proper IDE's are way superior (or nobody has taken the time 
to actually demonstrate that you can debug in a terminal with something 
else than perl -d). Unfortunately I find it impossible to do remote 
debugging on Evergreen, in a Java remote server debuggin fashion. I 
think it might be because of debugger finding it impossible to follow 
code execution through OpenSRF (I could be wrong here), but I definetely 
will be interested about that topic and gladly cooperate with you guys 
on finding a way to do that.
That might get some kettles boiling... ;)

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
