ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi everybody,
I'm playing with the ESP for a months and what I noticed is a well-known fact, that the Arduino IDE is not that good for editing a bit more complex code - no code folds, no auto-complete... etc.
I know that some people managed to work with eclipse for the AVR programming replacing the Arduino IDE. As I'm not aware of the current state of the development, is there any such possiblity for programming ESP with the arduino toolkit but editing the code from a more advanced editor?

Thanks,
Boyan.

Yes, there is a plugin to develop Arduino sketches under Eclipse, that can be configured to work with ESP modules.

Can you give me a name to look for? I belive it's not a single plugin for Arduino now.

Maybe helpful for others: for the Arduino IDE 1.6.5 code folding can be enabled in the preferences dialog box.
