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.

You do have a point about maintaining it. I presume though they have already explored the possibility of Eclipse. As you said there are some quirks with Eclipse, however it does have a flexible method for supporting features. With a proper installation setup it shouldn't be too big of a deal. To support Keil's tool chain and debugger they just need to use the Eclipse SDK and .. hire Java programmers to make the interface. I believe the latter might be at issue (new staff or training staff).
Since they are now owned by ARM they may have more desire to follow that approach. I like Eclipse for developing it's biggest weakness is setting up tool and debugging chains can be and is in general difficult. They would have to add a GDB compatible interface for the current Eclipse debugger to work properly in all likely hood.
Updating things in the tool chain however should be relatively easy with Eclipse and it has direct support for CVS (I wish they would add subversion and git support for Eclipse as well).
