Context. Developing and evaluating a software to help developers with a specific problem which exists in the current workflow for Eclipse developers. Problem. Managing Eclipse Integrated Development Environments can become problematic and a chore to the developer when handling many of them for a lot of projects over an extended period of time. Objective. Write an application that integrates into the daily development process and evaluate the result. Method. The application is written in Java and based on the Eclipse Oomph Project and Java SWT. The impact of the tool is measured using a guided peer study, where participants were asked to complete a list of relevant tasks and rate the subjective effectiveness and impact of the Eclipse Installation Manager on their workflow. Result. The results indicate that the Eclipse Installation Manager has a positive impact on the interaction between developers and their development environments. However, the application itself needs to be more refined when it comes to the consistency and the user interface. Conclusion. The concept of the Eclipse Installation Manager shows great potential and is validated by users who liked the idea and knew the problem from their own experiences. The solution to the problem of managing workspaces and installations is a little more complex and multiple approaches are possible. Future work focuses mostly on improvements of the implementation, but additional studies could reinforce the significance of the problem and concept and maybe evaluate the impact in an objective manner.
