Looks good Jantje, I’ll give it a go at some point!

Have you tried the eclipse plugin you can find at eclipse.baeyens.it?
It works great with the mega as it resets the mega before upload since version (I don’t know any more 😉 )
Besides it also has a serial monitor 😀

Yeesh, Dan I can really see why hiding the toolchain is important in Arduino’s success – such a learning curve on it. I eventually went back to using notepad++ for writing the library and compiling through the arduino IDE… A cop-out, I know, but I’m picking battles, and I at least know a bit more now.

Word of warning about avrdude 5.11: don’t use it to dump EEPROM as it has a known bug and gives you back every other set of 8 bytes. avrdude 5.10 works fine for dumping EEPROM. Other than that, 5.11 works great. (P.S. I’ve had that same reset issue you were dealing with. Also, there’s fun if you ever need to reload the boot loader but don’t know that you need to use the avrdude switch to perform a chip erase. Lost an hour of my life on that one as well once.)
