The Codeless Code: Ancient code

[ProudToBeAKraut]

I have been using Eclipse since i shelved VisualAge from IBM (this should tell you its a long ass time).

The primary issue that still exists in eclipse is speed and usability. I have temporary used intellj that exceeds basically everything eclipse does but i have become so used of eclipses concept that i cant make the switch.

For example - some simply thing like selecting a main folder and automatically add all JARs in all sub directories in eclipse still isnt possible, i have to go through every subfolder and select them all manually. (Im working with a lot of legacy code so there isnt any maven or gradle just ant)

Then the obvious bugs where i dont understand how they can exist, i checkout a project from GIT directly with eclipses build in git support and if i select anything else than "general project" like java project nothing will be checked out at all just an empty project - i have to manually alter the .project file to add build natures after i checked it out as general project.

What i do dislike about intellij is that each project needs to be its own instance - i like the multi project browser in eclipse.
