I think the main thing to do is to let users be "successful" when installing the plugins.
It's somewhat likely that users of Ruta will be on later releases of Eclipse, so I'm not sure this is an issue that needs to block this release. Do we know what the minimum Eclipse level is to get this to work? The "announcement" email and the download page for this could be augmented to insert that requirement. -Marshall On 9/18/2014 8:03 AM, Peter Klügl wrote: > Am 18.09.2014 13:56, schrieb Burn Lewis: >> Marshall told me 3.4.2 but I should have realized that he's not that old! > Ah ok, I thought you meant the version he mentioned in his rc review. > That one was 4.3.2. > >> So is the answer that 3.7.2 is not supported? > Yes and no.
