Is there any way to provide a eclipse settings file that helps with the project setup? Or is this an entirely manual process?
I am happy to open a Jira ticket to cover eclipse integration. It *sounds* like what the patch should contain would be some files that get checked into the source tree, and some instructions that probably should become part of a new web site page, "Running under Eclipse". Or do you have other ideas? Karl On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 10:41 AM, Farzad Valad <ho...@farzad.net> wrote: > So what is the verdict on the eclipse setup?
