Hello everybody !
About ocamlbuild : unfortunately, this (wonderfull) tool came out when the development of the plug-in was almost finished, so we can only plan to incorporate it in a future version (maybe...). I think we can do something about the _build directory.
 
For project references, I don't know also what it is for, and we don't use it in the plug-in.
 
About the debugger,  I thought there was no problem to desactivate checkpoints but if you say it... We will have to wait a few days until the person who developed it came back..
 
Thanks!

Hello everybody,

so we have :

I just tested it on a small toy project and it is by far the best I have seen, it is actually very usable. One thing in particular that I like is that it does not necessarily rely on a builtin engine  within the plugin to compile your projects but can use a simple makefile instead. This way of cleanly  separating the building process allows you to use another great development tool: ocamlbuild for building (provided you don't mind managing the ocamlbuild files to configure your project instead of using the plugin managed ocaml projects).

I have a few remark though:

- i could not find a way to configure the ocaml debugger: i use it a lot and some of my code requires deactivating checkpoints, or it would just eats up memory. Otherwise debugging through ocaide works very well.

- OcaIDE does not look in ocamlbuild _build directory for .annot files, it's ok since i can put commands in the Makefile to copy the files in their expected locations after a build, but it would be nice to have this.

- I am not sure what Project references are for, i understand it would automatically ask you if you want to open the referred projects when opening the main project, but can it also issue a build for the referred projects when necessary (like projects in a Visual Studio solution) ? AFAIK this configurations is not mentioned in the documentation.

- I could not make it work with eclipse 3.2 but it works fine with 3.3 + Sun JVM 1.6

Anyway, great work!
