Re: Eclipse?

[Ken Gilmer <ken buglabs net>]

Thanks for mentioning us Paul :)  Yes we support and continue to work on
tools that integrate Poky and OE with Eclipse, but the project is
different in scope than TmL.  Currently our tools are for Linux-only
systems and are used more to manage BitBake than to manage devices.  In
fact even being an Eclipse developer I was not aware of TmL.  So, I
cannot say much about the state of the project but it seems like there
are some good companies behind it.

And for the record, the developers we have that do any development with
GM use emacs or vi :)

thx
ken
