Hey there,

this has already cost me countless hours to install, so I'm seeing my very last chance by asking in this forum.

I'd like to use axdt ( new.axdt.org ) on my Debian Linux box. For that to work, I MUST have Eclipse 3.5 or 3.6---because the 3.7 versions are known to have issues with axdt---that's why I've now stuck to 3.5.2 (Galileo), because Debian (standard) won't ship any Helios versions (which is awkward, but that's life)

Galileo has all I need, but all I could find in repositories (e. g. download.itemis.com/updates) is a 1.0.2 Helios version. And you know, the "Helios" has not been put there by pure luck: whilst I thought it would really be not much difference, I learned that it really absolutely doesn't run on Galileo. Well, yes, it installs fine - but if the "Axdt" perspective does not appear in Eclipse, well, it's not much use for me.

AFAIK axdt was even conceived using Xtext 1.0.1 but where can I get that?

I googled around and found what I was looking for ...

archive.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/downloads/drops/1.0.1/R201008251220/

... however, as things are - as usual - never as easy as you'd expect them to, it's NOT possible to install the 1.0.1 version just by "Help->Install Software" (my usual approach). You will have to unzip it to a local directory and pray that Eclipse will accept it as an "install directory".

However, that has not made axdt work yet so far, so is there anything else I can do?

Nevermind, thanks for your overwhelming support (LOL) Seriously though, I've duped this post on another tracker and I solved the problem by acting as an alpha-tester for the developer. I can't thank him enough for his extended support, otherwise it would probably not have been possible to get the issue tackled the right way.

1.0.1 was actually required for the old axdt build but now the new build will run perfectly on Eclipse 3.7.1 bundled with Xtext 2.2.1.
Get it at jenkins.mbnull.org.
