Sian, Sorry for delay in response. >I'd like to help with documentation but I don't want to duplicate any work >that you are in the middle of, so let me know if there's anything specific >I can do... Thanks for your desire to help! Well, let's work at the page "Developing Apache Harmony Class-library Code with Eclipse" [http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/subcomponents/classlibrary/dev_ecli pse.html] first, if you do not mind. AFAIK the majority of items on the page can equally apply to DRLVM and classlib. IMHO would be great to edit the page to remove unnecessary focus on classlib, to make the page equally relevant for vm developers. To my mind, the introductory sections should be removed, as they are about generalities that do not always relate to the header of the page. Could you please take a close look at the page and create the patch to improve the content and to remove all classlib-specific info? You can use Harmony-2009 for it. It would be a great impact into development of the site documentation for sure! If you need my help, just let me know. The second idea is to move the page up, not to store it in subcomponents/classlib. To make it easily accessible, we can store it in top xdocs folder and link to the page from documentation.html, quick helps and other build-development web pages. If you do not have any objections, I can create a patch with the necessary links. What do you think?

I think you're right about the Eclipse information - I think most of it is fairly generic and it would be good to have it in the "Project Documentation" section. I believe the new details about the ecj jar and the PDE-related settings are classlib-specific (- Dpde.jreProfile=none etc), but that could probably be mentioned in the document. I'd like to help with documentation but I don't want to duplicate any work that you are in the middle of, so let me know if there's anything specific I can do, or if you're nearly finished then I can leave this area to you and get involved in the future.
