Geir, I've checked a brief webcast for those who want to see a step-by-step guide to configuring Eclipse, and it seems to be up-to-date. But we still have food for thought: "Getting Started with DRLVM" is outdated, and "Working with Classlib in Eclipse" seems misplaced. The first doc needs an update (see Nadya's mail: Mon 10/30/2006 6:53 PM), and can be abridged to reduce purely eclipse-oriented content. We can reference Eclipse docs instead [http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp]. And the second doc has been updated (see HARMONY-2009), but only related to classlib. Many of the things are pretty generic, and with minimal edits can be fit for vm as well. I suggest that we move this doc up to make it more visible and edit it so as to apply to the whole project, rather than to classlib only. IMHO the "Project Documentation" section is a good place for this doc [http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/documentation/documentation.html].
What do you say? If you do not mind, I can try to update the doc.
