I don't see too much benefit in that - but what I *would* love to see
would be a decent C# editor in Eclipse, along the lines of JDT. Eclipse
stomps on VS.NET in my opinion, but when developing C# I basically
don't have many options :(

(I know there's a very simplistic editor which basically knows how to
syntax highlight and how to call MS's compiler - that's not at all the
same thing though.)

Actually, Eclipse already runs on .NET and/or mono. Thanks to the ikvm
project (http://weblog.ikvm.net/) and Zoltan Varga
(http://www.nexus.hu/vargaz/). The IKVM dynamically compiles Java
bytecode to CIL (the .NET bytecode thingy). There's no need for a C#
version of Eclipse. The whole idea of .NET is, that different
(although sematically similar) languages can interoperate.

But who cares on which VM Eclipse runs... a C#-DT similar to the JDT
would be a great thing. It should have the same incremental compiling
technology. And the best thing would be, if that compiler could still
generate Java bytecode ;)

Why at all write IDE for one language on other? Who need this?
Developer of such IDE should have good knowledge of Java and have
wish to programm on C#. Why in this case don't write IDE on C#?..

Because writing the whole IDE infrastructure from scratch in C# is a
little more involved than just to write a plug-in. You'd simply get
results more quickly. Using the Eclipse (or any other, say NetBeans)
platform lets you concentrate on the business logic that is unique, rather
than reinvent the wheel every time.

There are people that know and use more than one language.
When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Yes, I am aware of infrastructure. But develop in Java to create
IDE for C#... If you like C#, programming in Java is not so funny ;-)
I.e. if you already changed your mind and want to program in C#...

People who don't care what language the IDE is written in, but want to
develop in a specific language. As a *user*, I couldn't care less what
language an IDE is written in, so long as it does what I want it to do.
If I want to enhance it, add plugins etc, that's a different matter.

How many Eclipse users do you think have written plugins, compared with
those who just write Java code in it?

> Developer of such IDE should have good knowledge of Java and have

Why should I have to switch IDEs when I switch languages? I write in
both Java and C# on a daily basis - and I'd rather not have to change
from one IDE to another in order to do so.

Presumably you think the CDT project is silly as well, given your
reasoning?

I do both on a daily basis, and have no problem with it.

Who says programming in C# requires you changing your mind? You seem to
be assuming that people will only program in one language.

Ok, I understand you.
I use myself Java and C++, but just have belief, that IDE for "big"
language should be written on itself.

Ok, may be I wrong.

It is quite simple: In this newsgroup, most people are not only using
Eclipse, but even extending it. So we discuss all sorts of extensions, and
if someone wants to code a C# plug-in, he will definitely want to come
here.
But if you want to code a C# IDE to develop C#, go ahead. If there's the
itch, scratch it. There are good reasons to do so, not the least being
that you'll learn a *lot* about C# programming. Kent Beck says in "TDD"
that whenever he wants to learn a new language, he codes the *unit
framework for it (even when it already exists). I'm sure once you have
some basic functionality going, other people will join you.

But posting to the "eclipse.platform" newsgroup telling people to do
something else, IMHO, a bit pointless. Especially when your only argument
is a "belief" that not everyone shares.

The obvious answer is to install a JRE - why don't you want to do that?

i agree with konstantin,

It will be the same question all over again. And eventually
the IDE that will be used with C# will be written in C(#)

Why?
Easy, why do we use Eclipse now written in java? Because everybody
wanted a IDE for java that was Written in java.

There was already a complete framework which was basicly the same thing
as eclipse but then written in Smalltalk. (Visual Age series)

Now that is overtaken by eclipse because everybody wanted a IDE for java
to be written in java. So eventually with the next general purpose language
the same thing will happen.

But then why there's developed CDT in/for Eclipse?

In theory, the IKVM supports calling .NET stuff from their translated
Java and calling the translated Java from a .NET language. I never
tried either, however.

It is already - a lot of VS.NET is written in C#, I believe. I don't
see any reason for that to remain the case though. I see nothing
impossible about writing a C# plugin similar to JDT within Java.

> Why?

No, they didn't. I use Eclipse because it's the best IDE I've found.
That has nothing to do with whether or not it's written in Java.

No, it *wasn't* the same thing as Eclipse. It wasn't free (for large
projects). It didn't use the filesystem in a simple way without extra
bits. It was (IIRC) more of a resource-hog than Eclipse. It couldn't
(IIRC) be used to develop against and run against recent versions of
Java. All of these are pretty critical - they're the reason I didn't
use VAJ before.

I did use VAJ before (from 1.0 until 3.5) and it was a great IDE
and the smalltalk environment was pretty good if i see what else
did they make with that (smalltalk itself, C++, cobal, java, ect)

The choices they made with the Universal Virtual Machine did bite
them in the end. That was a bad choice they made then, but at the
time they choose that the UVM was a big thing.

And ofcourse they could also have opened up the smalltalk enviromenent
just as they did with Java. But java developers where in much greater
numbers. But maybe the Next GREAT General Purpose language will maybe
do the same thing to java?

No, I use Eclipse because it is written in a common cross-platform
which makes it available on such wide variety of systems. I wouldn't
mind developing C# applications using Eclipse if it gives all the
tools I need, no matter Eclipse itself is written in Java. Of course
writting an IDE for C# in C# could be easier but that's not the
point of the Eclipse idea - a generic cross-platform environment
extended with the necessary tools where needed.
