I have several apps that I have in Eclipse.
1. If I put the apps into the same project, I can re-use code from the application framework that I have developed, but this seems un-organized. For example, when I look at "Problems" I see all problems from the whole workspace which is not what I want when I'm focusing on one project-at-a-time.
2. If I put the code into different projects in the same workspace, then I can't reuse my reusable code since each project has it's own "src" directory and each project even has its own "com" folder.
3. There is a problem in seeing problems in other projects, other than the one I'm developing. I've tried using a workspace for each project. This succeeds in separating the errors so that I only see the errors from the project that I'm working on, but then I'm even farther away from being able to reuse my reusable code.
4. Another problem: to deploy a .jar file is not easy for me in Eclipse. It seems that I get it working once and have to figure it out again the next time because my choices from the previous time that I created a .jar don't "stick".
At the "Trail Ride" and in the "SCJP" forum, they suggest not using any
IDE and instead use
Java. They say that we should learn to use Java and that if you use an IDE, you're leanring the IDE and not learning Java.
