As many of you know we currently provide the Eclipse IDE configured
with our toolchains for the various boards. We're looking to
improve how this is supported and to update the IDE package for our
newer boards but we are also exploring other IDEs as an
alternative. I've talked to a number of customers who seem to
strongly prefer Code::Blocks or Netbeans. I'm curious to hear
opinions from those who have worked with these or other relevant
IDEs themselves.
Here are the various IDE's I've been evaluating:
Code::Blocks: http://www.codeblocks.org/
Netbeans: http://netbeans.org/
Codelite: http://www.codelite.org/
Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/
If anyone else has any open cross platform IDEs to recommend we'd
certainly be interested in those as well. I'm currently leaning
towards Code::Blocks as it seems like it would lend itself to the
simplest configuration while still supporting the most features.
They also seem to have a community around using the IDE with
embedded systems. However if most of you prefer Eclipse there are a
few improvements we can add to this package to make usage easier.
Specifically I'd like to add templates for our boards rather than
just sample the projects that show how to use the cross compilers.
