[DUG] Delphi 2006 snippet

[Phil Middlemiss]

I'm waiting for the OOP plugin for Eclipse! :-) somehow I think I may be

Eclipse is a saaaweeeeeet IDE. Perhaps Borland should look at doing a 
commercial "Delphi" plugin for Eclipse? I would by it!
Doing Delphi and Java work at the same time makes me thankful for coderush!
