Instead of better IDE... why not using Eclipse or NetBeans

Asked by eliteSKL

I see a lot of request for better sikuli-ide.... i don't understand why it is even a focus of development. If anything make better support for Eclipse and NetBeans. And documentation should include fully qualified names for each class object or method object. when using Eclipse i noticed i had to used full qualified names.

I use "Print Screen" and paint to get my screen shots. I use sikuli-ide for regions and that's about it.

i save everything int standard Python(Jython) style format. then use this an make my own short cut.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe -cp "C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\sikuli-script.jar" org.python.util.jython "C:\path\to\myscript.py"

exampile of how my stuff looks

<folder>
        <__init__.py>
        <myscript.py>

<folder>
        <__init__.py>
        <myscript.py>
        <folder>
                 <__init__.py>
                 <myscript.py>

The beauty of SIkuli is that it can be used an understood by people who are not programmers. Those people will pretty much exclusively use the IDE. Those people might not understand the quirks with the IDE, and as a result stop using it before they really get started.

I personally just made the switch to using Eclipse, and I think it was a good change, but i would guess a huge majority of Sikuli users use the IDE and for one reason or another wont change that.

I don't see a reason not to make it better.

@ Harry: fully agreed

Sikuli IDE is for newbees, occasional users and for quick and dirty tests/evaluations.

It should be further developed to optimally support this kind of users and usages.

Someone who is used to develop with mature IDE's, testing frameworks and other professional tools has all options to integrate the Sikuli feature set into his environment.

It is really old topic but I would like to tell why I need the Sikuli IDE:

-- I need it for GUI map design and management
-- I need to get images
-- I need to experiment with similarity of the image - matching
-- I need to tune click point

I use another Eclipse based tool for tests development.

My 2c ;-)
