so how you gonna do a the interface, just a basic window or some windowless graphic like a widget? and if a basic window gui are u gonna a layout manager if so which one, i hate java gui programming and never can decide on which is a decent layout manager and always end up using a absolute layout manager

im using SWT actually, which has a nice little tray class, though it doesnt work in OSX unfortunately. im gonna see if i can find a way around that.

yeah, you dont even have to use it for java :P in fact, most people dont

lol what is it used for then? is it for compiling native to the machine?

eclipse is an abstracted IDE, it was developed to use with Java and is written in Java, but there are plugins to use it for pretty much every language out there.
