Eclipse Database Integration
Well, so I have added a bit of database support to my Eclipse installation as well. I opted for Quantum, which in turn has a dependency on GEF.
The only problem was that I could not get Quantum > 3.0.3 working on Eclipse 3.2.2. It does seem however that 3.0.3 works without a hitch. I also needed to use the MySQL JDBC driver, which you can obtain from MySQL.
I now have almost everything I need. What would be interesting for me going forward is to see if I can deploy my projects to a remote server via SSH (scp). I also wonder what build tools would work? Anyway - there seems to be endless possibility on the Eclipse platform, and I am very impressed so far.
