[Xtext] Installing Xtext M6 on 3.4SR2 [message #39323]

Hi,

I made a few attempts to install the latest Xtext and its dependencies on
3.4SR2 today. I basically got the Classic 3.4 (no modeling stuff intsalled)
and installed all the plugins on the download page minus the EMF 2.5 one. I
don't see the Xtext wizard after I do this although I do see the plugins and
features I added (however, I just eye-balled it and it not verify each and
everyone is in place).

Before I dig into this:

Has anyone used 3.4 with Xtext M6? Is it supported?

If someone has successfully installed with the downloadable plugins (not
from CVS), can you share what you did?

Thanks,
Derek

Hi Derek,

TMF Xtext is built against and requires Eclipse 3.5.

Sven

Thanks for the authoritative response.

The first line of the Xtext getting started guide
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/Xtext/GettingStarted) has the following text:

"
Presented below are a few steps to gain a first impression of how Xtext
works. We are assuming that you already set up your Eclipse IDE (version 3.4
(Ganymede) required, version 3.5+ (Galileo) preferred) and dropped in the
plugins from our download page or installed the whole distribution.
"

I think it is important that the version 3.4 reference be removed and a
clear statement indicating only 3.5 is supported. Otherwise, users (like me)
may think 3.4 is supported and not realize they have to migrate all their
development to 3.5 to integrate with Xtext artifacts. What is the protocol
for documentation bugs? Should I file one in bugzilla?

I've changed that.

Yes, that would be a good thing.

Thanks,
