[maemo-developers] Eclipse & the IDEs

[From: Andreas Orfanos]

Eclipse is very slow. I tried to move to Eclipse 3.2 my development
process. But it didn't work for me. Creating projects with
a few thousand files I managed to crash Eclipse a few times. It was
unworkable IDE.

Eclipse as a concept is good, but you need to make sure that
if your code is manageable.

You can reduce most of these problems if you have pre-built
core libs of your project. But what if you want to change your
libs..
