[maemo-developers] Eclipse & the IDEs

[From: Matt Clark]

Sheesh.  Ian was the one who thought (or more likely misread) that  
supporting eclipse meant forcing commercial IDEs on people, not  
Quim.  Why do you want to lash out at someone who's actually trying  
to help you?

The point is that Eclipse is open source, it has a community commit  
process, it is available non-commercially, it is fully functional  
without any commercial components (probably without any proprietary  
components by now), and is the de-facto IDE standard for non- 
Microsoft target platforms.  Leveraging that momentum to improve the  
Maemo development environment is a good thing.
