First Post! (Eclipse)

My first reaction to Eclipse was that it looked complicated and cluttered. I quickly discovered during the lab that it actually isn't all that complicated, just slightly different from the text-editor/terminal workflow I got used to last term.

Creating a project was straightforward and I can tell that being able to browse projects via the Package Explorer will become more valuable as the amount of classes in the project increases (it seemed to be overkill for my 2 class test project, though).

I'll likely get along just fine with this IDE as I was somewhat annoyed by the number of windows I had to have open last term while coding. Instead of switching between a text editor, terminal, and Firefox, I can do everything in Eclipse and it will even auto-complete my code for me. yay!

The export to archive process went smoothly and produced a nice little .zip containing the whole project.
