Don't confuse, "I didn't get it to work first time with very little effort" "does not work" Also note that like any complex tool, once you've worked it out, which takes time, you don't have to do that again. Like the people who say vi is garbage because you can't quit.
If you don't spend the time and give up early, that's fine too and shows you how much you do or don't want these things and /any/ answer there is by definition correct.

I don't confuse the two, the program didn't do what i explicitly wrote in my post. If you think it can do what i asked, please explain how, because right now from what i can see it fails to do what i want from it. I didn't try everything i mentioned because it failed at pretty much everything i tried from the very first thing, so it didn't give me any confidence to keep on trying.
Also you seem to misunderstand something important even from my initial post: almost everything i wrote can be done by stringing together various tools and/or have various workaround, even the "modify code while it runs" could be done by using one of the libraries or tools mentioned elsewhere.
But the point is having the IDE actually do all that in a single place and with good UX (for example i didn't mentioned the part about checking a library's name in a listbox of libraries in a project's settings for fun, i mentioned because i expect at least that sort of user experience and convenience for the user! Eclipse CDE fails at that part because it needs all filling all sorts of forms in various places to see the library - my requirement wont be met by ignoring the requirement, the entire point of it was to request good user experience).
It is all about having a good user experience, if the program fails at that, it fails at the core of what i asked.

When i edited the post there wasn't any reply, you replied while i was typing the edit.
You don't want what you said you wanted because you won't do the work to get it. It's not even that much work tbh. That's fine. It does work for me and the "user experience" is fine. I'm not associated with the project, nor pushing anything. You can pretend it's because I'm so much smarter or this is my con or something else to explain that but I doubt these lines of reasoning.
Best.
