New ContributorHello,
I'm also interested in this topic since Eclipse Mars 2 is very old, has plenty of bugs and lacks of lots of modern IDE functionalities.
For example it's not possible to set a decent dark theme...in 2022...that's ridiculous. Who's still coding with a white background???
The only way is to manually edit each component color...
If I try to install any third party plugin I get errors, crash and worse, like that Eclipse can't be start anymore.
This situation has not improved in the last 5 years. How can Intel advertise it's SBT if the only IDE which support the integration of this toolchain is absolutely garbage?
Do anyone knows if Intel has any plans into supporting more recent versions of Eclipse?
Thank you
Occasional ContributorAlso wanting to know. I use Nios extensively at work and this old version of Eclipse is just not good. Super buggy, ugly, and clunky. I have switched to a command line workflow, which has eliminated a lot of the issues. The problem is Eclipse.
I just use the Eclipse GUI to generate my BSP and application, then do the actual coding/compiling and running the software from VS code using the internal terminal. It is WAY better than using the Nios 2 Eclipse mars 2. I would like to have a nice, modern, built in IDE that supports the Nios toolchain, so please Intel fix this.
