[kepler-dev] Re: [SDM-SPA] Setting up Eclipse to access the Kepler repository

[Christopher Hylands Brooks]

Professor Lee and others are using Eclipse.
Our most recent notes can be found at
http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptexternal/nightly/doc/coding/eclipse.htm

There is a bug with Eclipse-2.1.2 and recent versions of CVS.
The above page covers a fix.

Personally, I find the Eclipse/CVS interface difficult to use because
it does not handle compression of 4 through 9, so it take forever to
check out a tree over the rural DSL I have at home.
Another issue is that out of the box Eclipse 2.1 uses ssh1 and not
ssh2.

Still, Eclipse is fairly promising, and I encourage new Ptolemy
developers to use it.

We have talked about creating Eclipse plugins to create actors.

    Yep -- probably a README would be adequate for starters.
    
    Also, if I'm not mistaken, Ptolemy folks use Eclipse and may have used
    this with the Kepler source.
