Re: [ice-dev] Please use ICE to develop ICE

Everyone not at ORNL,

I would like to ask that you use ICE for development both to help us catch the aforementioned bugs, but also because it has a pre-configured target that will make your development experience easier. You are, of course, under no obligation to do so, but I would appreciate it nonetheless.

Alex McCaskey is adding even more developer tools and a special developer menu that will streamline ICE development within the environment itself.

Best,

Jay

I would like to remind you that it is the official policy of our team to use ICE as the primary development platform for all of our codes, especially ICE itself. This is the only way we can make sure the platform works as we expect, especially in terms of development, for scientific software.

I just encountered yet another Eclipse tool set that doesn't work in the nightly, even though it should. We need *OUR* version of Eclipse to be fully-functioning too, so you can understand that I'm getting annoyed by these little things that we should have caught previously.

If you are not already using ICE for development, go download the nightly and switch to it. If you encounter problems, don't abandon it and switch back to regular Eclipse. File a bug report and make sure it gets fixed so that we can improve the product.

Thanks,

Jay
