Using Eclipse for cross-platform development...

Can the Crystal Reports Eclipse plugin be used for development on Windows and Linux, that is, can I compile/target Windows and compile/target Linux using the same code base; am I correct to assume that the code is Java?

Ah, that you'll have to ask Eclipse if they support both platforms with which ever version you use.

Download page has the runtime also, you don't need to use Eclipse if you don't want to.

You still need Tomcat, WebSphere or.... to host the Java app on and I believe they have both OS versions, then you publish your app to that WEB Server using WAR or JAR files.

Yes, since Windows and Linux can run Java applications you can write it for both.

How you compile the app for both is something you should simply use Google to search for how to....

The Eclipse plug-in is for Eclipse only, so I assume that the application must be built with the Eclipse compiler. Does that mean I must use Eclipse for Linux (and the CR plug-in) and compile on Linux to run the app on Linux, and conversely, use Eclipse fro Windows (and the CR plug-in) and compile on Windows to run the app on Windows. I want to use app on both platforms...
