Eclipse is certainly an interesting full function development environment for those that want more than vim|emacs and friends from the command line.
Absolutely
How far of a solution would you advocate?
Ah, I don't know; there is a huge amount which could be done, depending on who we target first, or rather: which use case. I can think of people doing embedded projects, or writing applications for a target stack / OS. Are they trying to build a packaged app, or an Android app, or are they working on a full system image?
Should the solution be akin to android in the ability to run a simulated arm system local on the box?
Yes; I think we should integrate cross-compilers and the possibility to run a test image, or to deploy on a remote system. Android has one example, CodeSourcery also has an Eclipse based cross-development IDE...
Seems like perhaps a good UDS/Linaro session.
I guess; I'm a bit scared by the size of the topic :-) It would be a goot topic for 10 sessions and team of developers :-)
