I was just beginning to use myeclipse in a couple of days. It’s really a great one. I like it.
Just one more thing, because I do my development work in linux, so I’d like to know when the “Visual HTML Designer” function will be supported in linux edition.Then it will be perfect..
thx
We are evaluating a cross-platform solution for the future. However,until then we are going to deliever new features for our visual designer that will be initially win32 only.
Is there any timeline? I was just trying to figure out how to use it in OS X. I do all of my development on Mac…
Currently there isn’t a hard set date, but cross platform is very important to us. We are working on some great stuff internally that should take care of this problem but there hasn’t been a release target for the new work yet… if I had to guess I’d say around 3.9 or soon after.
Hey guys!
Come on. Where’s the Linux support? I convinced my employer to pick up 30 licenses of ME. However, as more and more of our development team move to Linux, they are rather p*ssed to find features in ME are gone. They are all looking seriously at other products. So why don’t you folks rescue my credibility here 🙂 and get those Linux featuers up to par ASAP!

We very much appreciate the support, it is important to us that our user feel confident in their purchases.

Besides the HTML designer, what features are you referring to?

This is unfortunate, but understandable if you are not seeing the tools you need within MyEclipse.
Wow, I am also going to repeat this… I recently got a nice G4 laptop and was trying to make the point at work that I could move over mosty everything from Windows to Mac OS X. I was a little surpised to find this issue!
I know it is a very difficult thing to grapple with competing priorities, especially when they all seem to be priority 1! But, as a paying customer, my 2 cents, always choose to keep versions across platforms to retain the same feature set!!
Please don’t bow to the evil empire 😉
I do actually have a question, you mention possibly we could see this on 3.9 (I’m assuming this would mean for MacOS X as well, but that release in not on the roadmap.

Fortunately it has nothing to do with MS, just our customer base (96% at last count of users were on Windows, that makes a pretty huge target for us especially if certain large customers (corporate) are demanding it).

The next release will be 4.0, and AFAIK cross platform designer will *not* be part of it. We rewrote the designer core and HTML designer for 4.0 (win32 for this launch), it is a hell of a lot better and will take us farther in terms JSP, JSF, etc. designing. So it’s a big step. I really can’t comment on the cross platform solution w.r.t. to these as I am not privy to that information yet.
Well… would it be possible to integrate hooks into an existing designer like nvu in the current state of affairs?
Maybe you guys could simply grab the code from NVU as it is Open Source.
You would have a basis for a cross-platform WYSIWYG HTML designer which you could possibly then extend and enhance for your own needs such as visual JSP editing and preview.
If you can’t merge GPL code with your own, then at least have a look at NVU for such things as the WYSIWYG CSS editor.
For us it is also disappointing. In the moment we use four licenses. I would be glad, if we could use it for all our developers. But we have the little problem, that we use linux on our developer pc’s and need a visual designer for the web pages.
96% at last count of users were on Windows
How did you count that? No one asked us and if you count the access via browser, we have extra pc’s to acccess the internet. And this machines run under windows. But no one here would develop on this machines 🙂
Does 96% users on Windows mean you’ll stop support for Linux sooner or later?
I bought ME for private use and wanted to buy licenses for the PCs at work,
without future support for both (Win and Linux) it doesn’t make sense to have either.Would it be possible to show up wich features on the roadmap will be Win-only?
Does 96% users on Windows mean you’ll stop support for Linux sooner or later?
First, it’s not 96%; it’s more like 80-85% Windows. And no, we will not be dropping support for Linux or the Mac. In fact, we’ll be working on expanding those feature sets to add things like visual JSP editing, similar to what we have on windows in 4.0, in the future.
Would it be possible to show up wich features on the roadmap will be Win-only?
We don’t have any additional Windows-only featurs planned at this point. We made the JSP designer windows-only in 4.0 as a testbed of the design and functionality. We’ll be expanding similar support to the other platforms in an upcoming release (and no, I don’t have a timeframe; just a general commitment from management). Additionally, UML is only available on Windows and Linux due to a long-standing Eclipse SWT/AWT bug (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=67384).
Other than that, all features are available on all platforms and our intent is to continue to support all platforms going forward.
Just wanted to throw my voice in for support for Linux. We just purchased 5 seats and plan to use it exclusively on Linux.
We where really hoping you all would have worked for us. Your IDE works really great priced right except…..
We are a Linux shop and NEED the design view in html and jsp. I hate to think that I must burn up a license for a Windoze machine just to do the designing on.
I do understand that you user base is mostly Winders users but don’t forget your roots. Eclpise was born from open source and Linux.
So when will this be part of the Linux package???
Please hurry!
We’d really like to buy your product.
