Hi

There is a question in StackOverflow.com that basically begs for an
answer from Buckminster wizards in this newsgroup:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/552722/is-there-a-simple- example-of-how-to-use-buckminster

There are few answers in there telling how great the Buckminster is, but
none of them really answers the original question which is to give a
really simple example of how to use Buckminster to set up (and build?) a
simple project with 2 dependencies.

I am starting to write my own answer, but as a complete newbie on the
subject myself, I am not sure I can di it, so I invite the community
here to contribute to SO where this question (and answers) can easily be
found through search engines by those looking for a proof of awesomeness
of Buckminster :)

Hi Roland,
Thanks for pointing this out. I think the timing is good here. A 0.2 draft of Henriks extensive
documentation effort just saw the light of day:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/bu ckminster/doc/BuckyBook.pdf

Henrik, perhaps you should reply to the stackoverflow.com post? Seems to be a golden opportunity to
spread the word about the new documentation.

I posted.
The book does not (yet) answer his question though :)
