Hi. I worked on STEM last semester to try to get it on the cloud at SJSU. I'm currently offering advice to a couple of students on how to compile STEM. I tried using the new instructions in the wiki at "wiki.eclipse.org/STEM_Eclipse_Setup" to compile STEM but there are a number of issues with the instructions:
- The wiki doesn't mention some important plugins that are needed for compilation. The ones missing from the wiki are Draw2d, BIRT, and Zest frameworks. By default, Eclipse doesn't have the URL for these and will need to be manually added. The wiki should provide this URL for these GEF frameworks: "download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/".
- I'm using Linux (Ubuntu 11.04) with Eclipse SDK v3.5.2 and importing using Team Project Set doesn't work for me since there is no option to input a URL as shown in the attached screenshot. So I had to use SVN to access the repository instead. Could there be another plugin needed for this method of accessing the repository to work or some other requirement?
- Apache Commons Collections and Math libraries are needed by some STEM projects and was not mentioned in the wiki. Funny thing is, projects still compile regardless but I didn't run through all the compiled projects to see if everything was alright. There were no ant errors during the build. If it's necessary for certain projects to work correctly, I think it should be in the wiki.

I installed Eclipse 3.7 and then tried the instructions in the wiki and everything downloaded and compiled fine and all the necessary plugins were installed. The most current version of Eclipse that's available from the Ubuntu Software Center is v3.5.2 which I though was current so that messed me up some. So I had to just install it manually. I did find out that you have to make sure you use the "new users (non-committers)" link for the Team Project Set, otherwise, it will ask for verification a bunch of times and might hang up Eclipse.
Thanks,
Paris
