Eclipse

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2006/10/25]

Well, I don't like those fancy IDE's much, but sometimes I work with Eclipse.

Yesterday, a funny idea popped into my mind: Using eclipse, I wanted to print
my code! In Linux! So I went to the "File" menu, searched the "Print..."
entry -- but the "Print..." entry was greyed out. Wondering if I had ever seen
a greyed out Print entry before, I searched through the preferences in case my
printer wasn't set up correctly, but there was nothing to find.

I learned that printing is not implemented yet. How stupid is that? I mean,
this is Eclipse version 3.x.x, not some 0.x.alpha-pre-release. And why do
they add greyed out menu entries for features not yet implemented?

Well, I thought I needed no Eclipse to print my files, I have a2ps. But the
indentation of the so printed source code sucks because fucking Eclipse can't
produce files that look nice in plain text with monospaced fonts. Bah!

I hate Eclipse. I hate proportional fonts. I hate tabs.
