I found a good tutorial on IBM on doing Python development with Eclipse. It might be a little out of date, but I think only the screens got moved around a little bit. It includes details on how to use ant, which I’ve recently started using with cruise control and PHP, so I’m becoming a fan.
I did run into an issue where I’d get the error ‘Variable references empty selection: ${project_loc}”, but a quick google brought me to a solution here.

- This is more of a note to myself, but I had a hard time figuring out how to jump to a matching brace in eclipse. on a mac: apple+shift+p on a pc, under linux: ctrl+shift+p I like how BBEdit handles this. If I double click on a brace, it selects everything between it and it’s match. Does anyone know if it’s possible to assign a hotkey to open a file in an external editor?
- I got this error after installing the Mono framework on MacOS X 10.5.6 and trying to set up a new project with eclipse.

- It looks like developing using c# and eclipse on the Mac is pretty easy, at least on first glance. Here’s a good guide to get started. It only took about 2 minutes to go from “I think I’ll give this a shot” to “sweet it compiled.”
