//// Frequently Asked Questions
- What about eclipse? What about ant? The command line is frightening
and gives me nightmares!
In a basic sense, the command line stuff isn't as scary as it might
seem. Hopefully it's just a matter of following the instructions
above (and being patient). If not, let us know where you have trouble
so we can fix things.
Conceivably, it wouldn't take much to make Arduino build under
Eclipse or any other IDE, but we don't do it by default. Same goes for
ANT. We don't use it, but if someone were to make build scripts that
emulated everything that the current build scripts do (not just build
the code, but all the other annoying crap that the build scripts do)
then maybe we could switch to it. It's all about reaching some kind
of critical mass.
