- the target audience is identified as developers writing plugins/products on top of the Eclipse platform
- it's recommended to not use Eclipse 4.0 as a Java IDE
As a plugin developer, these two statements seem contradictory - I should use it to write plugins, but I shouldn't use it as an IDE?
It took a lot of searching to eventually find the 4.0 FAQ (which answered some questions) and a place to download something actually branded as Eclipse 4.0 (http://download.eclipse.org/e4/sdk/ - the only place I've found this link was a post in this forum)
It would be better if this information (FAQs and download) was more easily findable from the main site...
3. Other plugin support for 4.0?
Assuming there's an answer to #1 above that still encourages plugin developers to develop against Eclipse 4.0, what are the plans for getting the other Eclipse tools/plugins (ie: GEF, EMF, DTP, etc) to work on the 4.0 platform? (Our plugins have dependencies on these)]]>Chris Lee Harasemchuk2010-06-09T18:26:50-00:00
