<br>
thanks for bringing up IDE integration, it was not on my list of
things to consider.<br>
Maybe read this question if you're using Eclipse:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://answers.ros.org/question/52013/catkin-and-eclipse/">http://answers.ros.org/question/52013/catkin-and-eclipse/</a><br>
<br>
Please do not hesitate to share your experience with catkin and
IDEs, and use answers.ros.org to get help for using other IDEs.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Thibault<br>

Context: started with fuerte, wrote some simple nodes, recently
tried moving on to groovy.<br>
<br>
The whole catkin thing was a huge blow after the already
inexplicable roscreatepkg+rosmake.<br>
I still don't understand why do I have to learn another series of
build tools when there is cmake+make.<br>
On fuerte I ended up using cmake most of the times (after one pass
of rosmake to generate msgs or services) as I could not get
rosmake to update the makefiles if I changed the configuration.<br>
<br>
Now with groovy I totally don't get the workspace thing and the
new command.<br>
<br>
Plus at least there are rosmake examples out there, while catkin
ones are difficult to come by.<br>
<br>
And on top of this all, I can't see how to integrate catkin in
IDEs which to me is a must if you really want to code for ROS.<br>
<br>
Now this is the perspective of a programmer just approaching ROS,
not criticizing anyone. But I want to stress that, not being part
of the inner circle, some things appear strange and unmotivated
(new wheels every time).<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
