I'm working my way through Richard Gronback's book Eclipse Modeling Project and I'm stuck. I'm advised to ask in the amalgamation newsgroup, but the group is down and there's no thread for it in this forum. Where do I ask?

My present problem is related to the tooltip chapter 4.4.5 where the workflow route won't work, and I need a step-by-step rundown of the workaround so that I can compile and continue reading. But to my knowledge there's no errata available. Am I wrong?

I think this forum should have a section called Books, and I think each book in the Eclipse Series should have it's own dedicated thread.

Thanks,
Knut

Knut,

I'm prompting the new Amalgam committers to more actively follow that
newsgroup. It's the best I can do personally...

I think that the problem is both financial with the non-existing open source business model and with the non-adoption of new modeling technologies such as DSL and EMF. Many ideas but today almost all talented members have left these technologies because they can't make a living from them !! :blush:
