Sun, 09 Jul 2006 21:17:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Sphinx) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?141540 http://osnews.com/thread?141540 If it's so flippin' great and modern and up-todate then why does it have UI (with splashscreen) that belongs in the 1980's. Open it: your eyes bleed. Use it, really use it, and you'd think you've gone to at least the 7th rung of hell.

In 2006 there's really no excuse for such crapola. That Sun no boast that it's meant to be an eco-system defies belief.

Why doesn't somebody send someone (eg. Chuck N.) over to beat the Sun board members up? Sun, 09 Jul 2006 22:02:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (fergatronic) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?141550 http://osnews.com/thread?141550 Are you some kind of idiot?

A) Sun has nothing to do with Eclipse. They don't support (they don't even seem to like it).

B) Your random complaints include Sun, which sounds like you think this is Swing-based. Eclipse uses your native underlying windowing tool kit for the most part (GDI on Windows, GTK on Linux, etc).

IBM created it as an attack on the development tools of Sun (NetBeans?) i think.
Think about the name "Eclipse" and what it looks like as a natural phenomenon.

That's great ! I've never noticed it :-)

Anyway, yes: Sun is supporting NetBeans and it is also distribuiting in bundle with the SDK (aaltought only as an option) Mon, 10 Jul 2006 16:03:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (fepede) Comments
