Hello All,
Is it possible to integrate Eclipse and UV3? Eclipse has good code editing features such as auto complete,code hint?It would be better if two tools could be integrated.
Manish
The uVision GUI simply calls the actual compiler, linker, downloader, etc, as separate command-line tools - just as Eclipse would.
The only thing of uVision that would remain would be the debugger/simulator.
I think the real question is: what is the point in maintaining the uVision GUI?
There is no compelling reason to use the uVision GUI, and it has a number of long-standing, annoying quirks and limitations that argue against using it.
Even uVision-4 still has many of these quirks & annoyances, and is a long way behind the state-of-the-art with things like code-completion - as you say.
Rather than wasting resources on the uVision GUI, I think Keil would be better to devote those resources to getting the Simulator & Debugger integrated into Eclipse...
To you, 2p.
To be fair, Eclipse has some glaring omissions; eg, no column-select in the editor.
And some of its behaviour seems bizarre to one used to a "normal" IDE like uVision or MS VisualStudio...
I have to port from C51 code to SDCC so I am using Eclipse.It is working fine till now and I liked it.I don't see any unusual behavior of it.Since, SDCC has no good debugger, I thought it would be better if I could use debugger of uVision.
If I did some improvement in integrating I will post my findings.
