  1. Thank you IBM by tomee · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Eclipse is perhaps one of the greates things to happen lately. But I think it's full potential has not nearly been realized yet. Since it supports everything via plugins, one could make html editors, office applications, or even stuff like photo editing software under eclipse which would then feature a unified and interoperable user interface. I really hope to see this kind of thing soon.

      Well, I doubt many people will use eclipse for things other than programming and developement related activities.
      I don't see many photo editors eclipse's future. The base conmponents are too much biased towards its prime target: be an IDE.

  3. MFC Support for Refactoring? by plasticmillion · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Well this doesn't seem to be the world's most active thread, but just in case someone is reading this: what interested me most about CDT is the refactoring support. This is sorely missing in Visual Studio.

    Does anyone know how this refactoring works? I presume that the environment needs to parse the source files in order to determine what to rename (as with Java). Does it use the GNU compiler for this? If so, can GNU handle MFC? Sounds a bit like worlds colliding to me...
