The advantages of heading towards ABAP in eclipse

[Former Member]

Hi,

About ME

I am working in a the SAP ABAP module for past 2 years and working in a MNC in India,

I had a very good experience in working with the Eclipse and the Apache Tomcat server, as earlier I was a java

J2EE developer.

I created many enterprise web pages by using the eclipse and for the past one year I am using SAP R/3 system

for the custom code developments.

Working with Eclipse

Its been a wonderful experience to have a chance to work in Eclipse instead of traditional R/3 development

environment,

I mean to say that there are many advantages and disadvantages that I would share while my developments

in Eclipse.

Eclipse Feature Explorer

Eclipse has the best thing that I like is simultaneous work on many objects without changing the screens,

I mean u just have to click on other object in left side pan and the objects open up,

thus facilitating the navigation.

Also the features like refractoring, debugging and specially the cntrl + space functionality suites very well with the

development and eases the task for a developer.

I even got to know that UI5 has an added benefit to our developments as it works very well in eclipse.

Spread the word :

Yes, definitely its a must try for the persons who like to explore new areas of SAP,

and as far as my view is concerned it really makes a developer life easy.

I would like to share some useful link that I come across that would be helpful to you:-
