[Digikam-devel] Re: Setting up development environment with Eclipse and parallel stable version of Digikam

[Martin Klapetek]

Hi,

I'd strongly suggest to try KDevelop for digiKam. It's the best I've used so
far with everything you need for development (including great git support).

As for the two paralel versions - been there, done that, wouldn't recommend
:) The trunk is mostly so stable, that you don't have to worry, trust me,
I'm on trunk for almost a year (and I'm active user) and never had big
problems.
