Folks, Looking through the site and figuring out how to improve the docs that include info on Eclipse, the following ideas came up to my mind: 1) Since the "Developing Apache Harmony Class-library Code with Eclipse" page [1] is mostly class-library oriented, I suggest reviewing it to remove purely DRLVM-oriented info and leave the page where it is now [subcomponents/classlibrary/dev_eclipse.html]. 2) Add the link from the Quick Help pages to the "Developing Apache Harmony Class-library Code with Eclipse" page [1]. 3) Gather purely DRLVM-oriented info to store it in the "Getting Started with DRL" doc (hope it won't be wiped off the face of the earth; for details, see the discussion thread: [doc][drlvm] The document "Getting started with DRL" is outdated) In this case, we'll get two docs providing info on developing with Eclipse: [1] - describing how to develop class-library code with Eclipse, and "GS with DRL"(or whatever it'll be) describing how to develop DRLVM application in Eclipse. Any objections? What do you think? Please right me if I'm wrong.

So, it's too early to add a page like this.
