I'm considering MC Server as a project I may want to contribute to. However, while I don't mind using Windows, per say, I don't want to donate money to Microsoft to unnecessarily purchase Windows and Visual Studio licenses. I do want to continue to develop from all computers I interface with at home, which all have Linux, and also run Linux in VMs so I can easily snapshot and backup.
In the Java world, where I've been developing since 2002, all the IDEs run great on Linux. But, I haven't developed in C++ since 2002. And now that I primarily use Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora on desktops and HTPCs, Centos on servers), I'd want to continue to do developmen on Linux.
So, with this being a C++ project, is is possible to develop on Linux with something other than a colorful text editor? I'm spoiled today with code completion and other features of Eclipse and other Java IDEs. Have any of you developed for this project using Eclipse for C++, for instance?
