Salesforce.com just built a plug-in to Eclipse, the open-source Java integrated development environment (IDE) to support S-Control development.

This tool, which I started using yesterday, has made my S-Control development much more productive. Wow, what a great way to work on S-Controls!

• I get a live list of all my s-controls (separate list for each sf.com instance)
• I can do live editing of all my s-controls (hit save and they are saved to sf.com)
• Have S-Controls from different Salesforce.com instances open at the same time
• No more keeping the s-control edit screen handy in a tab with contstant copy code from the IDE, find the s-control list in browser, browser back one page, select all code, paste new code, save s-control, navigate back to sf.com to test.
• Nice formatting, code coloring, block indenting, etc.
• They throw in a schema explorer as well, so you can look for field names, test SOQL queries, etc.

If you work on S-Controls at all, give it a shot–it seriously rocks. There’s a quick write up of how to install the plug-in over at Salesforce.com.
