Unfortunately I don't think we have a feature chart comparing the two products (I think we should make one for the website), but hopefully I can help you distinguish between them.
Our Eclipse plug-in is basically the SlickEdit editor within the Eclipse environment, along with a few additional tools. Within the editor you get pretty much everything: all editing features, search features, language support, tagging, emulations, macro recording, etc. are available. Other than the editor you also get the DIFFzilla differencing engine, our FTP and FTP Client tools, and several SlickEdit tool windows (which are ported to Eclipse as "Views"): Symbols, Class, References, and Preview. There are other minor features which are added to the Eclipse main menu.
It might be easier to think about what we
haven't ported to our Eclipse plug-in from our standalone product. We try not to duplicate functionality when Eclipse does something perfectly well. So all project management, build, debug, and version control support is provided by Eclipse. Once in a while there is something that Eclipse
does provide, which we replace or add to (if we think we offer an improvement
. Tagging would fall under this category: if you are working in a C++ project in Eclipse with our plug-in, you will be using our tagging functionality with your source code instead of the CDT indexing.
In additon, our Eclipse plug-in is a Windows/Linux-only product, while our standalone product also supports Solaris, Mac, HPUX, and AIX.
Let me know if you have any other questions, feel free to download a trial of both products if you want.
