Hello,
I’d like to say from the out set I’m just new to the Eclipse IDE and are
just evaluating it but thought I would give some feedback on my initial
testing and to see what others also think.
As a little background to the project that I’m working on, it has multiple
static libraries, a number of administrator process, and lots of photon GUI
and non-GUI apps. I’ve been testing the IDE with a win XP hosted setup.
Now for this type of project it would be nice to have a single Eclipse
project that has the various sub-projects under it where you can compile a
single sub-project as well as a complete compile.
Now I did manage to set-up a project that has a C console program and a Phab
program and I seemed to be able to compile all or individual projects.
However I could not re-edit the Phab project once I had stopped Phab
initially, bit of a pain. Then I tried starting Phab as a stand alone (i.e.
from the windows menus) and it said I couldn’t edit a Phab file that was
set-up by the IDE ?
From the docs I can see this is obviously not the intended way of using the
IDE, how do others use it for similar types of projects ? I’m sort of
leaning back towards our old way of doing the development which was to start
phindows and use terminals, and Phab…however the cvs, profiling, and
debug options are quite nice…
Running a Phab application on a target platform is nice, is it possible
from the IDE to specify that I want to run the application on a particular
Phindows (i.e. photon session) rather than on the target photon ? I see this
as being useful if you have multiple users developing on a single server. I
did manage to get the software to run on my phindows by making sure I start
the qconn software (slay it and then start it in my phindows). Don’t think
this would work for multiple users though
In a multiproject set-up it would be nice to be able to run multiple
process through the run command at once along with individual process (as
it already does).

To re-open PhAB you can select your PhAB project in the ‘C/C++ Projects’
view and go to the menu ‘Project->Open Appbuilder’ to work with the project
again. There is also a toolbar item that looks like a book with a pencil on
it, which will do the same thing.

What you can do is get the ‘PHOTON’ environment variable from your Phindows
session and add '-p /dev/ to connect to the same Photon
session as long as the application is a PhAB app.

BTW In 6.2.1 there is a typo on this option: it’s Appbuiler now,
and not Appbuilder. Possibly this was fixed for 6.2.1A?
It’s the case for both Windows hosted & selfhosted 6.2.1.

This has been fixed for the 6.3.0 release, just
missed the 6.2.1B deadline unfortunately. Thanks
for the eagle eyes!
In a multiproject set-up it would be nice to be able to run multiple
process through the run command at once along with individual process (as
it already does).
We are evaluating that option currently, unfortunately at
the moment we are still trying to knock out some of the
usability/interface barriers of the single process launch before
tackling the larger issue of how present the user with
the option to launch multiple processes concurrently. Technically
it is not difficult however.
