Re: [orca-list] Java development

[hackingKK <hackingkk gmail com>]

I agree with Michael,
I have been using eclipse 3.7 (indigo ) and ever since the bugs were 
sorted out, I have never went away from it.
It just does all the professional work I need to do.
I write a lot of python code and a bit of Java as well.
Eclipse is just amaising and coding is bliss.
Happy hacking.
