Yes It think I agree with you in principle but then the Xcode team
should make this clear and they should bug/get/force the WO team to
support other IDEs...

Hi,
I am not sure the interest for the Xcode team to spend too much time
around Java ...
Xcode effort is absolutely necessary regarding ObjC, ObjC++ and
Applescript, but with thing like Eclipse around, I don't see the
interest at all for Java.
As an ObjC and (new )Java dev, I use Xcode to build the Java part of
our project to get an unified graphical build process, but I use IDEA
for the java coding because it is very good, I know people using
Eclipse and they are very happy with it because it is catching with
IDEA regarding completion/help/refactoring.
Obviously I would be very happy to see Xcode a very good Java IDE, but
I would prefer to get the kind of completion/refactoring for ObjC we
can see in IDEA for Java.
For me it is a lot more important, because as programmer are lazy, it
would be a very very strong point in favor of ObjC and Xcode if the
Xcode team would be able to be as good as IDEA for the
completion/refactoring issues. For the rest I think that Xcode is
nicer : UI, build system, help, workflow ....
And just a question, excepted that Eclipse is a Java project (hence it
is a good reason to have Xcode made by Apple), is the Xcode team
investigated the possibility to use Eclipse as IDE architecture ?
Best regards
Gerard

Frangois,
Code Sense is just one of several things that indexing is used to
support. I recall having this conversation with you during the seed
period, off line from xcode-users. Index Templates are generically
useful for more than just Java development, they make a difference
for large C, C++ and Objective-C development projects too. Java
developers derive major benefits from using them as they eliminate a
large amount of indexing work that otherwise slows operations ... All
Java projects are large projects due to the structure of the Java
class libraries.
The initial goals for Xcode development were to retain parity with
Project Builder feature-wise for Java and AppleScript and to push
forward with new features for Apple's C-family language users (C,
C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++). Improving Xcode's Java and
AppleScript support to match the C-family languages is in planning
and will appear in future releases.
