PL/SQL plugin for Eclipse - plsql

I've been looking for git support for one of the PL/SQL ides that I already use. Maybe I should be looking for a PL/SQL plugin for Eclipse since excellent support for git is already there. Can anyone suggest a free plugin for Eclipse that's as good as PL/SQL support in JDeveloper? I've tried a few existing plugins but most felt like toys compared with JDeveloper.

Take a look at jOra and Toad in Eclipse marketplace.

Tools for developing Meteor

I've been watching the screencasts on the site and wondering what editor is being used? It looks like vi or vim (which one is it)? And at the bottom of the terminal says "JavaScript-IDE"? (is this a plugin for vi or vim) Thanks!
From Abigail Watson, Meteor expert:
WebStorm is no longer the Meteor-Cookbook recommended Editor or Development Environment.
We now recommend Atom.io since it's a pure-javascript editor, meaning we can extend the Meteor Isomorphic API to the Editor.
(https://github.com/awatson1978/meteor-cookbook/blob/master/cookbook/webstorm.md)
Our Meteor API for the Atom Editor brings Isomorphic Meetor javascript to the editor with autocomplete, code snippets, color-coded grammar, syntax highlighting, and more! Code faster and with fewer mistakes!
(https://github.com/awatson1978/meteor-api)
WebStorm
Webstorm 9 has excellent Meteor support.
For Vim/Emacs
Another option would be to use TernJS and VIM/Emacs as explained by Slava Kim at Dev Shop.
A Good Write up about it here
They're using Emacs, but you can use whatever editor/IDE you want. My personal preference is Sublime Text 2.
As far as I know, there aren't any editors that help you write Meteor code. Meteor is all Javascript, so the only thing an IDE could do is provide auto completion to the Meteor namespace and show you some docs. I think the general consensus is that an IDE like that wouldn't be too helpful at this point, since the docs change so frequently while Meteor is in very early stage development.
Happy Meteoring!
Atom.io. Growing well with community support. Have been using it few days and cannot think of anything missed for my use. The extension package system is pretty neat and available packages is growing quickly.
Codelobster has special plug-in for MeteorJS: http://www.codelobster.com/meteorjs.html

flash develop plugin

I have been using flex builder plug-in. But now trial period has expired and looking for some other option which comes free. I am trying to install flash develop plugin for eclipse. In my attempt to install I am trying this page but donno what all plugins to install...http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php?title=3rd_Party_Plugins ...Can some one please guide. The problem i am facing here is I am not sure about what is outdated and what is useful
FlashDevelop is a standalone application (windows only), as far I know there is no plugin for eclipse. If you are searching for an eclipse plugin, there's the commercial FDT, with a 30 day trial period.
A new FlashDevelop version (4.0) is about to be released and most plugins from the old version aren't compatible with the new one. So I unless there's a new list somewhere or some plugin explicitly states that it supports the new version, every plugin there is probably outdated. Anyway, many plugins from that list have been integrated in FlashDevelop. You can of course use the latests stable 3.x version if you need a particular plugin.
If you've never used FlashDevelop, you should just try the stable 3.3.4 or the latest 4.0 beta or the very latest developement build and see if you are missing some features.
You could always write your code in Notepad and use the command line compiler provided in the free SDK. It's not going to be as nice as any IDE, but it is functional.
Another option, if you are a student or unemployed, is to request a complimentary license to Flash Builder from Adobe.
Another option is to use Tofino, a Free Visual Studio Plugin for Flex Development. However, you'll need Visual Studio for that to work. [And I assume a Windows Machine].
FlashDevelop, as others have noted, is not an Eclipse Plugin as far as I knew. It is a stand alone tool.
Other IDEs for building Flex applications are:
Sapphire Steel Amethyst, which is a commercial Visual Studio
Plugin
FDT; which is an eclipse based plugin. I believe FDT5
will have a free / community option, but I do not know if it is
available yet.
IntelliJ, which many developers swear by.
And of course Flash Builder. I believe the previous three are all commercial plugins, so do not fill your "free" Criteria.

Which open source forges for bzr/bazaar?

I'm looking for an open source forge that we can host in our lab for some private projetcs. Our favorite DVCS is bzr so this forge must support bzr repositories.
While Launchpad is open source, this forge does not seem to be admin-friendly for hosting a private clone (no support, no migration script for database schema modifications, etc).
Are you aware of any good alternative ?
Thanks !
Edit:
We are now using git for our projects, and rhodecode to manage central repositories.
You can use Redmine or Trac (required trac-bzr plugin) installations to host your private projects.
Where I work they started to use Gforge AS a couple of years ago. Since I love Bazaar I made a bzr plugin for gforge. It was not 100% complete but was functional enough to use - it is still in use where I work.
On looking this up for you, I saw Fusion Forge which might be easier to get going, it is a fork of the free Gforge with built in support for bazaar.
There is a new one: sloecode. It is still a rather young project. Several plugins are still missing, like a bug tracker and a wiki, but those features are planned. It's worth looking at it for small private branches.

Savannah uses many VC systems, including Bazaar. I'm not sure what you mean by "admin-friendly" but it's been quite friendly to me. I also have a project on Launchpad.

Who uses IntelliJ for real commercial projects?

Just a simple question:
Would you prefer IntelliJ? If so, what are the Pro- and Cons?
Thx
I'd prefer IntelliJ for any Java project. I'll also point out that ReSharper is a Visual Studio plug-in that provides a lot of the same niceties for .NET. It's also written by JetBrains.
Pros:
Smartest IDE I know. Everything works together. It's not a Frankenstein monster stitched together from disparate plug-ins that don't know about each other.
Best Spring support.
Keeps getting better with every release.
Great integration with SVN, databases, Java EE app servers.
Local and remote debugging with Java EE app servers.
Cons:
Not free. If that puts you off, IntelliJ isn't for you.
Swing UI support isn't the best, but I'm not much of a Swing/desktop developer.
Not Eclipse. If you're a dyed in the wool Eclipse lover you may not like IntelliJ.
I used Eclipse for many years. I liked it and felt grateful to have something so good when my employer wouldn't lay out any money for tools.
Then I changed jobs and was given IntelliJ. I've never gone back. I buy a personal license every year with my own money so I can use it at home and at work. It's an essential tool for me.
In the software projects that I participate developers use either Eclipse or IntelliJ, simply because they are used to either one of them. No one of my collegues switched the IDE yet, so there does not seem to be a "killer application/feature".
I heard that NetBeans is better than Eclipse, especially NetBeans is supposed to be more stable with regard to plugins - this is the only aspect of Eclipse that really troubles me: You either do not find a plugin that you need (I'm still looking for a Maven plugin that actually works) or installing one plugin breaks another.

What's the best way for me to learn how to use Subversion as a source code control for my Asp.Net Web Projects?
I haven't had much contact with source control before; however I have a very basic understanding of its features, so I'm looking for a way to learn the best practices.
Any tip will be very appreciated.
Once you've setup SVN you'll need to setup your repository structure. A common setup is to have a Branch, Tag, Trunk setup however there are others that may suit your needs.
Once you've setup your server you'll need a client. The most common one is TortoiseSVN. It doesn't integrate with Visual Studio, however it's extremely powerful.
Once you install tortoise, you'll want to setup your exclusion list to make sure you only commit files that are relevant to your project.
Then for a better understanding of how to use source control in general check out Eric Sinks Source Control HOWTO
TortoiseSVN?
Pretty easy to use...
It's integrated into the windows shell so basically it works from Windows Explorer.. I'm not sure if its integrated into VisualStudio 2008, but it's so easy to use anyway that I dont think you'd need it.. :)
EDIT: Plus, it's free.. :) And it's got a bunch of tools like Diff/Merge.. :) Although for that I think WinMerge is better.. But that's beside the point.. :)
I really recommend VisualSVN. It is a great product for integrating Subversion with Visual Studio.
http://www.visualsvn.com/
I would recommend ankhsvn for integrating with visual studio. I works nicely and looks similar to TFS. I also use tortoise svn for windows shell integration. Both complement each other nicely.
Not strictly related to Subversion, but Eric Sink has an excellent source control primer if you need to review the basics. Don't forget that the Subversion book is free, and it's probably the most complete (and yet still quite practical) resource on Subversion.
Like Web and Jerry, I generally like AnkhSvn for Visual Studio integration, and also make use of TortoiseSvn as a complementary tool. (For example, Tortoise's log viewer is still a bit more advanced, so sometimes I'll go in with that.)
That said, I'm not totally sure I would suggest using AnkhSvn for ASP.NET Web Site Projects. (I use it for ASP.NET Web Application Projects, Class Library Projects, and Console Applications.) There are some quirks that you might find frustrating. See this message in particular and this thread in general, from the AnkhSvn mailing list:
http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=582&dsMessageId=132185
You could probably live with the quirks, and maybe the AnkhSvn will eventually eliminate them all, but in my case I chose to move to Web Application Projects (instead of Web Site Projects) partly because they work better with AnkhSvn.
Also, if you do go with AnkhSvn, I suggest running one of the nightly builds, rather than the latest stable release; the nightly builds seem to have many fewer bugs and to be more useful.
I didnt get any answers when i was getting my first svn set-up for php development... so i would like to help you but i dont know any visual studio integration.
I used tortoise(btw is great and is for windows, i could help you im sure) and theres a couple of tutorials on how to set up a small repo in your own pc
Get familiar with source control terms and concepts first. Eric Sink has written a great guide for getting up to speed.
I know someone has already said "AnkhSVN", but I'd like to second that nomination. I use AnkhSVN for my department, and I love it. It integrates completely with VS2008, and gives me almost no trouble.
I also use TortiseSVN for its "Repo Browser" functionality... but I rarely ever have to go into that anymore.
Both are EXCELLENT solutions, and used jointly, should be all you need. And both are free.
