Re: EGL Community Edition - Now Available

I went ahead and installed Java 5, Eclipse and then unzipped the Plugins into the eclipse folder in my Linux partition (SUSE 11.1) on the Acer netbook I have and although I see some evidence of the EGL components (Welcome Page, EGL being included the "New" options under file--> Other, etc) it looks like it isn't fully implemented. I cannot create an EGL project for example (using File-->New-->EGL Project) so I am guessing that the plugin isn't an option for Linux at the moment.
Perhaps there is another way to "install" the plugin but my usual approach is just to unzip the new plugin into the plugins ,and in this case, features, folders.

Not a big deal for me. I can deal with the vagaries of Windows 7 since I have to run Windows for my MyEclipse, RBD, RDi and VS 2005 development anyway.

That's a thought David - didn't realize that was an option. After I noticed the list of requirements (i.e. Windows) I didn't look any further. I'll maybe give that a try over the weekend. Probably start with a vanilla download of Eclipse - don't want to screw up any of the currently working stuff.

Wonder why only notes to the list from you are picked up by my midrange filter? All the others today went into the regular mail.

Have you tried just downloading the plug-in version and installing it in an existing Eclipse 3.4 directory?
