OK, here a few advantages.
1) Runs on virutally ANY platform, linux, windows, sparc, mac and so on
2) Potentially for any programming language (plugin capability)
I personally use it for Java / C++ / IJVM / Assembler
3) Included CVS handling with nice functions like patch handling, automatic tag / version handling
4) Constantly being updated.
5) C++ : Builds with gcc or mingw under linux / gcc on linux (cross-platform is easily configurable)
6) Java: Has very nice package handling and code templates.
7) Nice code-structure outlines are created (java: javadoc)
Pre-compile code-syntax checking: detects possible compiletime errors before compiling
This saves time, BIGTIME !
PMB, give me your adress via PM and ill send you a CD with Eclipse.
