I'm not kidding, and I still dont see any 'advantages' to using Eclipse. Yes its opensource, yes its pretty, yes its good at what its MEANT to do.
So here the positives of installing the BB IDE:
- One install, no setup required
- Runs debugger
- Runs multiple simulators
- Runs internal calsses (as reccomended by Sun and BB to increase performance, so why -have 200 files?) perfectly fine.
- Can atattch to a device and debug on the device
- Can break point an application at runtime wherever you chose dynamically, just like iphone.
Negatives:
Large projects? (I haven't encountered this and my application is quite large [1500+ lines, 4 threads]).
I did try using Eclipse and its nice, if your doing plain java or something thats not device specific. Anyway, lets keep this fairly factual.
Positives of Eclipse:
*your points here*
Negatives:
- requires a 5 page setup
- doesn't have the same level of debugging/choices
- Doesn't do on device debugging
