Yeah, Eclipse is hands down the *best* IDE's in terms of most 
wide-ranging functionality.  The price for that is that it gets rather 
huge.  Especially if you load a few languages in there like Python, C++, 
Ruby, Java, etc. etc. It's like potato-chips.  You can never have just one.

Despite all of my accolades for Java  and Eclipse, I have to say that 
for mythtv development,  KDevelop is the best.  In fact, I never got Qt3 
to work quite right with Eclipse, but out of box it's there in KDevelop.

How to ask questions:
 * Do your homework: google it, search archives from lists and forums
 * Ask on the appropriate list or forum using a meaningful header
 * Be precise, impersonal, to the point, state your goal, and say "please" and "thank \
you"

How to answer questions:
 * Verify what they're asking about, turn bad questions into good ones
 * Give information, ask if it answers their question.  Rinse & Repeat
 * Not all manuals are created equal! link to your favorite one and say "Read This \
Fine Manual"
