Dastyruck Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 So why is all of eclipse mainly programmed in VB6? I have VS 2008 and when I tried to open up the source it just converted everything as best it could to vb.net, and there were only like 100-300 lines of code that it couldn't find a replacement for… I think that it would be fairly easy to manually replace those lines of code and just switch it to vb.net where you can get express source editors for free...

AdrianC Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Because eclipse is based off the mirage source, which was created about 10 yrs ago.Its probably not that easy anyway. Fix one problem and the compiler finds 2 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastyruck Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I wish I knew vb.net better so I could switch it myself… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenton Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 EE 3.0 is being created so it will be easier to convert to .NET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Lol, until Eclipse++ comes along :3Saida said he is doing a VB.NET port but idk bout that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unnown Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 @Lenton:> EE 3.0 is being created so it will be easier to convert to .NET.…that make no sense at all...both are a load of code, nothing eassier :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastyruck Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I wish I could see the vb6 code so I can see what my VS 2008 is leaving out, if someone could help me see what is missing, I might be able to replace it… Anyone wanna help?

Dastyruck Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I think Ill wait till EE3 comes out before I start converting, if I started now I would finish right after EE3 came out and then I would just have EE2.7 in another language and people wouldn't use it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
