I'm not fixated on Eclipse; really, I'm not.
My recent discussions about IDEs vs. text editors led me to bring up the Eclipse Project as an example, which in turn led to a bit of revisionist history on the true origins of Eclipse, with the inevitable correction. And that, I thought, was that.
Then I find out that for the past few months, the developer team from the Russian Academy of Sciences has been working on a plug-in for Eclipse that enables C/C++ developers to use LSB tools right inside the Eclipse IDE.
The plug-in integrates the LSB SDK tools that allow building LSB-compliant applications into Eclipse. There's even support for the new multiversion LSB SDK toolset coming out with LSB 4.0. The plug-in also enables integration with the Linux Application Checker, which is very useful when you want to run quick analysis as you code.
I checked out the documentation the team had produced, and pulled it over to LDN this afternoon. There's a pretty good overview page of the plug-in, and a Getting Started guide that walks you through the basic steps of installation and use. Source code is also available.
Having an integrated toolset like this is a pretty good feature for developers, and I tip my hat to the Russian team that put this all together. It makes a nice addition to the LSB toolset.
