Could you elaborate, Arne (or anyone familiar with the environment)?


No refactoring (except rename).

No incremental compile.

Is the two most obvious things I have noticed.

Are those C++ shortcomings (compared with Java on Eclipse) intrinsic,
i.e., something that cannot be fixed (based on the fact that Eclipse
is written in Java, for instance), or are they a reflection of the
support for Java being much more mature? Should we expect the CDT to
reach some day the same level as the JDT?


The refactoring can obviously be done. And if enough people are willing
to spend time improving, then it will improve over time. CDT is much
better now than it was let us say 2 years ago.

To get incremental compile, then I think they will need their own
compiler or integrate deeply with an existing one. I don't think
that will happen.
