Explorer Eclipse

I use Eclipse for automated Selenium testing with Java and I love the multitude of features created to make the software development process as simple as possible. Imports are a snap, for example: just enter a method from a given library and the import statement is added for you. Move a class from one package to another & Eclipse updates the package in the file automatically. Setting breakpoints for debugging is easy & intuitive. The list goes on.

I'm still using Kepler, which works fine, but I'd be interested in upgrading to the latest version. However, I don't want to simply delete the whole application and replace it wholesale with the latest version. I know there's a way to do a piecemeal upgrade, but I'm not clear on the steps. It would be nice if that were clearer.

Other than that, I can't really think of anything that qualifies as a negative.

This program is very user friendly. Easy to use and/or create reports. The data entry flow is easy to follow without having to jump to different fields as you go.

Remembering to use either the tab or enter buttons on certain fields to ensure that the data saved. Having to "close" pages. Hung sessions.

It provides for all our accounting needs. Explorer is continually improving the product.

Explorer's history started as a software supplier to the Canadian construction market so some of their terms are Canadian, not American, but really it is not a big deal and provides some amusement to us users on occasion.

I find the program quite user friendly - the main functions are very easy to grasp. Menus are nicely sorted with a search bar. One of my favorite feature is - Inquiries for each module are customizable to many fields and can be exported into Excel to further customize . The support is also fairly good when we have problems. Friendly support team.

The lack of integration capabilities with other software. we do not use the PO module with Eclipse and use a different program. it would be great if we can easily integrated, but it is not something that can be easily done. We have in house programmers to assist, even with this, we are not able to do the integration. Another area I would like to see improvement is their help on set up. Eclipse needs a better Help menu where users can get guidance on areas such a set up. There is a limited help menu at the customer portal, but I don't find it too helpful. they do provide help through their support, but it is billable. I understand certain training should be billable, but simple set ups should be available for helping users.
