Eclipse Vs. Tortoise SVN, Apache Ant and Notepad++

[JMD]

I am wondering what are the advantages of using eclipse over the other programs i mentioned in the title? Talking from my experience Eclipse is slow as hell, using tortoise and the other stuff saved me a lot of time.

Depend of the user...

for example I prefer Eclipse, because I have "all that I need" in a only one application

[janiii]

what i use on eclipse: syntax highlighting, code completion (the best thing among others), compile error showing before building the server all again (typos, wrong method call, wrong code structure at all, missing imports in java code), java code check in datapack with gameserver sources, imports organization, renaming, code following / call hierarchy / class hierarchy, code format, file search, svn synchronize, svn merge editor, create patch (possibility also to clipboard), apply patch from clipboard, debug mode, plugins such as pmd/findbugs, ....

i use Eclipse for all exept svn - for SVN i use tortoise: much more comfortable merging if core modified

in eclipse you should use team synchronize to check for updates, not to do an update if you have modified core. then eclipse is much more better to merge conflicts than tortoise.

may be you re right...but i not familiar with this part. i apply patches via eclipse but create and update via tortoise

just right-click->team>synchronize with repository
try it when a new changeset comes out

i knew this, thx. but it hard to read logs of updates, not exact know how to take revisions log for 1 file etc..
in tortoise it done very nice

[jurchiks]

right-click the file>team>show revision graph?

[denser]

graph it is graphics? i mean numbers of revisions where file was touched...revision graph in tortoise give me graphical view..

duh, why don't you try it first and then ask questions? takes 10 seconds...

Small projects -> Notepad++, Ant/Maven, SVN (command line).

Large projects -> Eclipse, mainly for it's code tracing abilities such as: type and call hierarchies, field location (really helpful when dealing with protected fields in sub classes), and over all compile error highlighting.

Yup. Eclipse has very poor build-in diff (even other methods order can force you to manually check almost everything). I'm using one in NetBeans 6.9. Didn't saw better diff tool anywhere there yet. Well I saw one - in Delphi 2010 Pro, but it's a commercial IDE and compiller and it costed me a lot, so I won't compare these.
