Trying out IDL 8.0 tech preview on some of my code.
the layout in the IDE is a bit different. I'm trying to find the tree view of files in my project (project explorer). Not sure how I do this? The debug and idl perspective seem to be gone, so I'm apparently stuck in debug perspective.
It seems breakpoints are still a bit sketchy compared to pre 7.x I still have to compile a script after placing a breakpoint before idl recognizes the breakpoint (most of the time). If a blocking GUI is open then I need to close the gui first and re-compile before the breakpoint is recognized. Not sure if this is a limitation of eclipse.

Hi Peter,
It sounds like you might have an old perspective hanging around. Did you re-use an existing workspace? Anyway, if you go under Window->Reset Views, it should put everything in the "new" location, and the Project Explorer should re-appear.
Thanks for the feedback on breakpoints. We've got some outstanding bugs regarding those problems, which we'll work on before final release.

I tried the reset view and it did not work. However you're right I was using an old workspace. I just tried the linux version and it created a new workspace and it looks as expected. Problem is no files show up under the project explorer. The default folder is simply empty. When I try to open project it crashes eclipse.
I tried creating a new project in the existing foler. That seems to have nuked by Default folder and renamed it with an empty folder of the new project name. When checking out a fresh copy into this new project directory things finally seem to work and I can now see my file in the project explorer tree.

another thing I've noticed in the new version that I think is an unwanted feature is that when I do Project->Build All it opens every file in my project. So now instead of having only the files i want open in eclipse they are all open.

Could you put the step return button back into the ide. During debugging i get lost inside IDL supplied functions such as congrid. The other option is not to step into those functions (step over) unless they are open in the ide.
