Thanks for the tips. I'll try to use it here (Linux machine)

I guess you are talking about the  "F:\epf-composer" path, is it the output
directoty included in the binary official distribution or should be a clone
of the git sources repo?

Hum, I think I now understand. you mean  you install this precise Eclipse
distribution:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-modeling-tools-includes-incubating-components/heliossr2

What kind of compatibility problems I can get if using a modern Eclipse
version, say Juno or Kepler? Fedora Linux packages their own Eclipse
version (AFAIK is the main IDE at Red Hat) so I'm trying to use it.

I suppose Kepler or Juno fits too, right? And the install software option
you mean is [help]->[Install New Software], right? (I think there are just
two different ways to install things: through this menu and the marketplace
one).
