What would you expect from a language that is the result of all the Latin and Germanic languages smashing together in one place after taking thirty different tracks across Europe combined with a centuries of locally developed slang natural deviation.

Microsoft? They've done more to destroy English grammar than any company. Using "invite" as a noun alone should be a capital crime.

That's what I call a challenge.
May I do it in Esperanto instead?

So, workspace has to be default one. Maven gives some errors as soon as project is created which I needed to fix. They can't figure out the correct JRE version, they can't write there own XML properly. How do people even work with these things?
With VS, life is so much better.

You have been spoiled.
Funny though, people still manage to complain a good deal about VS - I find that interesting.
My recommendation to you is to approach this with an open mind.

Hi All,
Been refreshing my knowledge of C++ (which was always fuzzy at best) using firstly VS 2005 when I could not get the darn thing to build! so I switched over to 2008 same problem! tried to find out what was happening as even "Hello World!!" errored found an old anti-virus (AVG) installed updated tried again AVG blew up about spy ware(?). Got annoyed launched Security Essentials. Why block building of executables? Why? It's the only thing that has stopped!

When there's tools like Slack, how does this thing even live?
Heck, writing notes on paper airplanes and lofting them into the stale conditioned air to fly above the rat maze of cubicles would be an improvement.

Simple. It's now called "Skype for Business", and is a full-fledged member of the Microsoft Office suite.
That said, it's still a piece of crap which I'm forced to use at my day job. It's slow and fairly unreliable.

Many great software applications were created using Eclipse. I don't think that is dirty.
I do my Minecraft mod work using Eclipse.

OK, so it first asked me where I want to store my preferences and other stuff. Still, it created folders under my OS user folder. Why? I don't need you for long stop ruining my system!
Just clicked on create new maven project and it can't do it. Can't read some plugin. Searched web and looks like there are many reason for it. Someone said settings.xml is missing, other guy said it is not needed. Someone said delete everything and start over, other guy said update eclipse plugins.
I admit this is the first time I will be using maven but I don't understand why I can't even create a project of certain type after downloading IDE.
While I was typing this message, eclipse plugin update process failed. It is not even responding anymore.
Edit: now that error dialog just went away! I wanted to click on details, did not work. Clicked on close, it worked.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say perhaps because that's where the OS says it should be storing per user data. I know, crazy talk, isn't it. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
