16 years agoLet me first say that I believe moving to the software build tools flow is a good choice. You just need to work through the transition. Once you do I think you'll be glad you did. Essentially Eclipse has very limited interaction. You must do everything under the NIOS II section of the project's properties. These settings in turn make modifications to the project's makefile. With the build tools it's a makefile you are maintaining and configuring rather than eclipse project settings.
