Honestly sometimes I’m not sure why I continue to persist in using Eclipse as my editor of choice for most projects. Maybe it’s that I’ve been using it for so long now (7 years) and it’s gone the distance for me, though as with any long term relationship there are fights. Today was one of those fights, as I attempted to import a remote Git repository and create a project for it on a Windows…
Being able to link to a configurable product page with particular product options configured is clearly a valuable feature to have in an ecommerce platform.
