2019-06-09 Update - "Good-bye, Eclipse"

Given the impressive growth and expansion within the Vistual Studio Code marketplace - to support Open Source tools and languages - I am making a decision to shift my primary coding to use the Microsfot Visual Studio Code - and Micorosfot Visual Studio 2017/2019 IDEs.

I feel that Eclipse as a platform has chosen a path toward ruin. Given the increased pace of their releases - that habitually break older plugins - I can no longer, in good faith, recommend it as a tool for my clients. In the last few years, I have grown increasingly frustrated with the level of pain it represents - for an increasingly diminishing value proposition. It is a sad ending - and I have too long been relunctant to make a final decision to switch.

I may, from time-to-time, come back and experiment with Eclipse - and if I find some useful plugins - that are uniquely, and only, available within the Eclipse ecosphere - I will likely add some new sections to this document.

    • It appears that specifying draft-07, draft-06, or draft-05 in the $schema URI - results in an exception being thrown (see my bug submission above)
    • Specifying draft-04 appears to work - and no exception is thrown. I also posted this info to stackoverflow - and created a blog posting to document my findings:

  • NOTES:
    • Last update on github appears to have been on 2019-03-03
    • Testing this with Java JDK 12, on a Windows 10 laptop - it appears that JSON Schema Validation IS NOT WORKING when this plugin is installed_ - even after registering the file pattern and schema URL via Window > Preferences > JSON > JSON Catalog
  • Issue #26 submitted: Blocks JSON Schema Validation in Eclipse v4.11 (release 2019-03)

• Egit

  • It appears that this URL is not included in the "Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers" package - and I had to add this manually.

    • "As of 2017, Goclipse is no longer actively maintained"
    • "For several years now, Eclipse has been declining in popularity, and in my opinion also declining in comparative quality to other IDEs. I've seen the issues Eclipse has, both external (functionality, UI design, bugs), and internal (code debt, shortage of manpower). I was holding on to the hope it would recover, but now I don't see much of a future for Eclipse other than a legacy existence, and I realize exiting was long overdue."
    • "Google abandoning Eclipse was the wake-up call that prompted me to re-evaluate my career path"
    • https://www.eclipse.org/lists/platform-ui-dev/msg07744.html
      • "Eclipse usage within Google has dropped to the point where it no longer makes sense to have a team of engineers contributing to the Eclipse project."
