Re: EGL Community Edition - Now Available -- EGL-I

I remember reading that you shouldn't just drop the plugins in the folder, but use the installer included in eclipse:

"The plugin should be installed via Software Updates menu and not put into the dropins directory."

Subject: Re: [EGL-i] 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.

Q.

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