Here, I don't care if you have to customize Eclipse a lot before you can use it very effectively, and if this customization process itself is not well documented in an easily accessible form. And, it didn't have great usage-metaphors for the specific debugging needs of a C++ programmer. How flaky? Sometimes it failed to kill a previous debugger instance. Though it has a GUI that looks great to the first-time user, the last time I tried to use it, it (still) was a bit flaky. I have tried to use Eclipse, but mostly for C++ programming. If you need any help in terms of setting up, please let me know. And the debugger is very powerful though it is a small (in size) tool. It may solve some of the problems that we face in terms of compatible version of compilers, copyright issue. I am currently using Eclipse JUNO (4.2) and doing Fortran, C and C++ coding successfully. You need to do some setup which has been described here very nicely. It is maintained properly and has very good support team.Ībove link is basically for the fortran.

Need only Java SDK with the fortran compiler if you want to do Fortran coding.

Does not require installing, so some sort of portable.

Very light weight (Zip size=~197MB, Real size=~450MB).

Many reserachers are facing problem with versions, appropriate compiler or even with copyright issue. We usually use Microsoft visual studio's version to do Fortran/C/C++ coding.
