Hi all

I mentioned in a previous post that I was having trouble getting the help
for the GEF proposal to be displayed in Eclipse. I have managed to fix this
problem and have provided the steps below.

First to get the draw2d help to display correctly.

in plugins/com.ibm.etools.draw2d.doc.isv/topics_Guide.xml change all hrefs
from
href="reference/api/com/ibm/etools/draw2d/doc-files/draw2d.gif " to
href="api/com/ibm/etools/draw2d/doc-files/draw2d.gif" (i.e. remove the
"reference/" at the start) so that it matches the structure in the doc.zip
file. Also do this for
plugins/com.ibm.etools.draw2d.doc.isv/topics_Reference.xml.

To get the GEF docs to work firstly edit the plugin.xml file in
plugins/com.ibm.etools.gef.doc.isv so that the required plugins section
looks like

<requires>
<import plugin="com.ibm.etools.gef" version="0.1.0" />
</requires>

rather than

<requires>
<import plugin="com.ibm.etools.gef" version="2.0.0" />
</requires>

otherwise the gef plugin will not be found. (I also think that this might
be why some people are having trouble finding the debugger view because the
doc plugin was not getting loaded).

and finally edit the topics_Guide.xml and topics_Reference.xml in
plugins/com.ibm.etools.gef.doc.isv the same as before so that the docs are
displayed.

I am sure that these config errors will be fixed in another drop of the GEF
but for now it should get you up and going.

Cheers

Sorry about the problems you had. We *had* fixed this for the proposal
download. But after the proposal site was taken down, I lazily re-upped the
original ZIP file with the missing "reference" subdirectory.

Those who had downloaded the propsal didn't have this problem, which is why
some others were confused too.

This is the problem that I addressed in the second half of my post. The
com.ibm.etools.gef.doc.isv plugin will not load beacause it states that it
requires version 2.0.0 of the gef plugin when in fact the gef plugin version
is 0.1.0 (check this in the plugin.xml of your gef plugin) . I have copied
the relevant part of my post below:

To get the GEF docs to work firstly edit the plugin.xml file in
plugins/com.ibm.etools.gef.doc.isv so that the required plugins section
looks like

<requires>
<import plugin="com.ibm.etools.gef" version="0.1.0" />
</requires>

rather than

<requires>
<import plugin="com.ibm.etools.gef" version="2.0.0" />
</requires>

otherwise the gef plugin will not be found. (I also think that this might
be why some people are having trouble finding the debugger view because the
doc plugin was not getting loaded).
