I am assuming that because of what Rob has stated in various e-mails, he is wondering whether Eclipse is going to give him a similar development system as Microsoft Visual Studio for Windows. That environment had both code and GUI editors. You dragged a inputbox onto a form and the code was created. AFAIK this would be -possible- with Eclipse, but I doubt it is something in the tools provided by TS in it's current form... but if anyone has good information rather than just vague assumptions let the community know.

(I assume here you mean how your application runs, and not what tools *you* use as a programmer). It depends completely on the target {audience, function} of your program & embedded board. If you need a complex GUI, to present graphical or image data, etc, then by all means go for the X environment. If your target system is an embedded control system, reacting to pushbuttons, doing PID calculations, reducing A/D data, etc, then I'd stay away from a Xorg, as it's just another layer of complexity and learning curves. But, realize that: * The number of Xorg-equipped embedded boards (of any manufacturer) is a very minute percentage of the population, * Most Xorg programming today is done with toolkits like Qt, etc. Some toolkits (WxPython for example), make GUI programming embarrassingly simple, but getting the toolkit ported to your target board could be a lot of work. * Eclipse is a graphical IDE for development, not a GUI toolkit for the target system. I'd suggest you start with standard POSIX programming, and graduate to GUI systems as you see a need. One other approach (again depending on your target), would be to interact with your app via http .... regards, .......
