Sian, Thank you so much for your positive feedback and appreciating the page.
This page is only related to classlib. But IMHO 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. To my mind, the "Project Documentation" section is a good place for this doc [http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/documentation/documentation.html]. How about that? As for the "GS with DRLVM" doc, it needs an update, and can be abridged to reduce purely eclipse-oriented content. We can remove unnecessary screenshots as well. Feel free to take an active part in updating the doc, if you have time and desire :) Best regards, Sveta -----Original Message----- From: Sian January [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 30, 2006 8:14 PM To: harmony-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [build] Building on Eclipse - FYI Hi Sveta, Thanks for doing that - I have had a look through your patch and it looks really good. Your suggestions for changes to the DRLVM document look good too. I couldn't really find any good links for getting started with Java programming in Eclipse on their website, the only thing that came close was this - http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp, which has some getting started tutorials within the page. There might be some better articles out there on other sites though, or we could just direct people to the help system or 'cheat sheets' within their Eclipse installation.
