Hello,
Firstly yes I know the advantages of using an IDE like Eclipse, I would
use Eclipse normally for anything I have control over what environment
is used for development.
Having said that, I am not sure how one ould set up Eclipse to work on
BrailleBlaster source code as it was never set up as an Eclipse project.
It has an ant build script, which you could use for building outside any
IDE with Apache Ant, and use the editor of your choice to edit the
source files. I know that some IDEs, Eclipse included, can use ant build
scripts or at least call ant with the build script. May be you will be
able to do something with that to get Eclipse building BrailleBlaster.
However, I think I did see somewhere else in an example ant script which
was designed for both running inside and outside Eclipse, that one might
ideally have the ant script detect whether its being run inside Eclipse
as the compilation to .class files is actually normally done by Eclipse
and so need not be done by ant.
If you do figure out what to do then let us know incase others have
similar questions.

Hello,
To start off, my name is Mike Wleklinski and I am a sophomore at
UW-Madison and I am volunteering to help develop BrailleBlaster. So I
have recently began looking at the BrailleTemplates file and I am
wondering on what the best way to set up Eclipse so that I can work on
and test my progress with this file. Is there anyone that can help me
with this? Or is there a better way for me to develop? Any help would
be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
