Thank you Kevin and Chris for your responses,<br>I saw that a C perspective is needed for modules to, for example,<br>be aware of where to locate the headers in the ``include'' module.<br>As you mentioned Chris, I really think developers that are unfamiliar with<br>
the asterisk source code can greatly benefit from some of the things<br>offered by and IDE such as auto complete etc...<br>I will be happy to share my findings on here.<br><br>Thanks Again,<br><br>Nick.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Asterisk will build and run inside Eclipse (or used to) but I haven't<br>
done it in several years. As Kevin says, since it's C there's not a<br>
class hierarchy like you would get with a Java project, but the C<br>
perspective can be set up to find all of the definitions. Once it's<br>
all set up and configured, it's actually pretty handy for development,<br>
but running it in the debugger is pretty challenging as the highly<br>
multi-threaded nature of Asterisk doesn't lend itself well to<br>
Eclipse's debugger interface.<br>
