Very Well Thought-Out Application

PROS

I use Eclipse for automated Selenium testing with Java and I love the multitude of features created to make the software development process as simple as possible. Imports are a snap, for example: just enter a method from a given library and the import statement is added for you. Move a class from one package to another & Eclipse updates the package in the file automatically. Setting breakpoints for debugging is easy & intuitive. The list goes on.

CONS

I'm still using Kepler, which works fine, but I'd be interested in upgrading to the latest version. However, I don't want to simply delete the whole application and replace it wholesale with the latest version. I know there's a way to do a piecemeal upgrade, but I'm not clear on the steps. It would be nice if that were clearer. Other than that, I can't really think of anything that qualifies as a negative.

Robust system with flexibility

PROS

Eclipse provides a very detailed project costing system that provides great analysis from the field to the office. They have improved the financial reporting and drill down functionality significantly from previous Explorer software packages. It allows for equipment utilization reports, job cost reporting and other functions. Eclipse has many modules to choose from and allows you to purchase what you need and add more later.

CONS

Eclipse is somewhat complex in the setup and I would ensure that your company has someone with a background in system implementations to ensure the product is setup the way you desire. Depending on your location they do not necessarily have local support to help with the implementation and the costs to cover travel are pretty high.

RUN!

One of the worst experiences ever. I initially paid for our product to be upgraded in August and we are now in November, and it still is not complete. I have literally been waiting on them to "fix bugs" since August. I have reached out several times asking where we are at with the project only to be told that they will look into it, and no one ever gets back to me.

PROS

I wish I could say that there is a pro, but I have yet to see it.

CONS

Customer service is AWFUL. There is absolutely no education regarding the product, and they just assume that you know how to use it. If you have trouble you have to create a ticket and they send you a related article to read to figure it out yourself, but we pay over $9,000.00 a year for support. That's not my idea of support.

Reason for choosing Explorer Eclipse

We purchased the company and it already had explorer; the previous owner warned me about how terrible they are. We brought an accountant onboard and when I reached out to explorer to purchase another user license, I was told that they would not sell me another user license unless I upgraded the system. So, feeling forced to so to get our accountant in the system I upgraded, and the upgrade is not complete after 3 months. It has literally been a nightmare.

Good Solution to Enterprise Product Development

PROS

I have been using eclipse for a while for J2SE Development using Java Entity Beans and I found out the following pros Of Eclipse. 1.) It is very easy to use and is very less resource hungry as compared to other Development IDE's 2.) It supports Development languages such as C++,Java,JavaScript. 3.) It can be use by both novice and professionals to develop the rich applications. 4.) It comes with various themes and also has feature of auto completion in the Coding Editor. 5.) Window Builder Library of Eclipse seems to be very useful for developing good Desktop applications.

CONS

Since it is an Open Source Project, It is updated frequently which is very annoying at least for me, because of high Internet Usage. It has less Customer Support as Compared to Other Development IDE's.

Eclipse Review

my work is mainly with JAVA, so eclipse has helped me to easily deal with the daily development of my coding activities since it is based precisely on Java

PROS

I like eclipse as ide because it easily shows the errors and possible solutions to the most common ones, as well as easy to implement testing tools

CONS

There are times when Eclipse is not able to correctly describe errors to different from other IDEs.
