So there appears to be no documented issues from our side. But, AFAIK, Eclipse has a feature to browse marketplace, and automatic installation of dependency packages for the user projects, where some packages can potentially have freedom issues. I didn't try to build it using the PKGBUILD, so it's not clear if any dependencies are pulled from the network in the process.

I actually needed it for eclim (a package in the pcr repository), but I think that I am going to forget about this. I will create a bug about the dependency.

HAHAHA :P if you use vi vi vi the editor of the beast or not I will just drop this quote: People sometimes ask me if it is a sin in the Church of Emacs to use vi. Using a free version of vi is not a sin; it is a penance. So happy hacking. - St IGNUcius >> [...] >> I never used LSP but I do think to use it with programming languages I > > I am weary of anything coming from Micro$hit (LSP) well, actually I think historically Eclipse foundation started this and then Microshaft[1] then takes the effort, from free software standpoint nothing is too scary but from technical side of things I agree with you they may take bad radical changes from time to time. >> hate to configure in emacs because I only hand pick features in >> languages I like such as C. > > I really do not understand, and you really do not need to explain. I mean if I like the programming languages I will take my time to fine tune my configuration (choosing my syntax checker, completion framework, code navigation and indexing, project management, doxygent/gtkdoc support, documentation lookup, debugging, .... etc) and I will not use any ready configuration such as eclim or LSP. But if I hate it such as Java or PHP and web development in general I will take ready configuration to turn my development environment in emacs to IDE. > Thank you very much, and I like your e-mail service provider :) . better than yours. well this is a fair service and its privacy policy is clear (although the name might put you in problems :] ) and this service created by the hacker vincent canfield.
