Dear 1.5 fans...
You should register to the jdt-core-dev mailing list to get information
about the progress on the Cheetah front. We'll try to post to this forum
each time we upgrade the Cheetah preview (currently 0.0.2 is the latest). We
are working on adding support for generic methods at the moment, these are a
bit nasty, but hopefully we should converge and expose it soon.
This being said, there are a few issues in Eclipse update story, which are
revealed when installing the Cheetah. Please make sure to report these as
bug against Platform/Update in case you see any.
Please also let us known about the critical items you find which are
missing, so it will help us prioritize our effort. One thing we are aware of
is the fact we cannot locate sources for binary methods which have generics
in their signature...
If entering bugs against JDT/Core wrt to the Cheetah, please remember to
prefix the title with "[1.5]".
Remember the Cheetah is still very very young...
The JDT Core team.
PS: from JDTCore webpage:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt- core-home/r3.0/main.html#updates
To install Cheetah inside Eclipse:
- open the update manager (Help>>Software Updates>>Find and Install)
- create a site (select 'Search for new features to install', then 'Add
Update Site')
- fill in
' http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt- core-home/updat
e-site' as the URL.
- check new site in update sites list.
- check the Cheetah feature update and install it.
Once installed, you can go to compiler preference page to enable 1.5
compliance, and install a 1.5 JRE (see prefs>>Java>>Installed JREs). Avoid
using a 1.5 JRE to run Eclipse, as Eclipse is implemented for running on top
of 1.4 level JREs (and 1.5 is still unstable).
