*New Eclipse Arduino Open Source IDE Release "Toddler" brings Pro
Development to Arduino*
With the release of version 3 of the Eclipse Arduino product, nicknamed
"Toddler" Project Lead Jan Baayens brings us the next big step in
professional development of the open hardware Arduino platform. The major
features of this release are <insert here>, <insert here> and <insert here>.
While a lot of Arduino hobbyist are perfectly fine with the official
Arduino IDE, it lacks a lot of capabilities that the expert and
professional developer need. Things like multiple open projects, multi
files in one project, Task Management, CVS Integration, Indexing, easy
library integration, code completion and many other things that developers
take for granted when used to work with the Eclipse IDE.
Upon first activation, V3 downloads all low level libraries and machine
interface code needed for smooth integration of the attached hardware. It
is just a matter of installing the archive on any location (home directory,
thumb drive, etc..) and starting the executable on all three major
development platforms (Win, OSX and Linux), watching the dependecies being
downloaded and starting the first "Sketch" but now in a multi-file project
format.
After initialization, the IDE is equipped with support for hundreds of
boards and hardware devices including a huge library of sample code to get
devs started.
The code is open source and hosted on Github [1]
While the code is free (as in freedom), people can support the development
team for a small fee on the Patron site [2] which will buy them priority
support for their issues and requests.
