Setup

Hey.
Not really an issue, but i wondered if you could share something about your setup for developing addons for vanilla wow.
What IDE are you using, how do you debug, etc.
Thanks
I use Notepad++ as editor. It has syntax highlighting and all the other features you could want. Debugging is done in the wow client with improved error frame. Also i use wowwikis history browsing to browse the API from 2006.
There's a really great Eclipse plugin for Lua that I can only recommend. You won't see any proper debugging when working with WoW Addons. Build your own logging system that uses a loglevel and then have fun weeding through your chatframe!
Also you can edit lua files during runtime of the client and just /reloadui . It doesn't work with the .toc file though.
