[OOD-users] OOD IDE Integration

[Shawn Doughty]

Eric,

Most people so far are happy with the built in editor for general code
development, scripting as well as OnDemand apps (the later being mostly
myself and one other person). Of course over time those users will start to
have greater expectations for tools they might be using in class and expect
features such as versioning (git, etc). Orion or Cloud 9 seem like a good
fit.

Mostly I'm preparing for the day the 1% ask for a more sophisticated
environment such as Eclipse. Something that integrates with the scheduler,
can submit MPI jobs, has debugging... when that day comes I'll have to
decide if it is better to select/integrate Eclipse or the more web enabled
version "Che"

In a sense it was a comment on integrating apps such as matlab, rstudio
which have a  "legacy" GUI that require a window manager, VNC, etc.
---vs--- apps which have a web interface. The later seems like they easier
to integrate and so for cases like rstudio -vs- rserver I'm inclined to
select rstudio.  Maybe it is the same for Eclipse... and the better choice
is Che...  What have other people decided when choosing between the two
alternatives?
