SOAPBOX ON
I am not sure all of this is correct. I am novice with the
personal Altair SLC.
SOME LIMITATION ON ECLIPSE
PROBLEMS WITH ECLIPSE
Eclipse does not support saving the layout of program, log and output with
dynamic updating.
Saving the layout as a perspective(epf file) does not save all three windows.
In other words, you cannot 'freeze' the position of all three windows
Notepad++ automatically remembers the location of its main window and most panels,
which effectively "freezes" them for you, you can also have Notepad++ dynamically
update the log and listing docked windows.
Notepad++ is not an option for personal AltairSLC Eclipse,
because of missing operating system access.
Note that there appear to be issues with import and export for Python and R in
the personal edition, perhaps because command pipes are blocked. This
may cause a lot of R and Python packages that are not pure R or Python code?
MORE OBSERVATIONS ON ECLIPSE, PROGRAM, LOG AND LISTING WINDOWS.
If you lose the OUTPUTS window
go to upper tool bar
windows>show view>outputs
if that does not work
click on any listing output in the lower console (output>console (selected code))
after that drag the newly create tab, Listing for local server tab,
into the program area and release the mouse
To clear outputs
Right-click anywhere in the listing window and select Clear results
To clear the program
Highlight the code in the program window and
and hit the space bar or cntl-x
To clear log
Clear log icon does not clear log
Altair>clear log does not clear log
Do this
X out of log
Click on log in the control panel
A log for local server will appear.
Grab the tab and place move the tab where you want the log window

SAS ECLIPSE PLUGIN
There is a SAS plugin, however, it does not look like it is designed after
the classic 1980s SAS DMS editor?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/eslink/
I could not install the plugin into Altair SLC eclipse IDE
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Eslink 0.8.0 (com.anaxima.eslink.feature.feature.group 0.8.0)
Missing requirement: Eslink 0.8.0 (com.anaxima.eslink.feature.feature.group 0.8.0) requires 'org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu; org.eclipse.jdt.ui 3.3.0' but it could not be found
