Hi Rory -- Yes, you're correct. I tracked down the information on this.
You're right -- it's not a "real" link. But we still need verification on
someone using Eclipse if it works as advertised (per the instructions). If
not, we need to edit the page. I'm fairly certain we currently don't have
an eclipse plugin that works for AOO 4.0.x.

In fact, this is not a dead link at all. It is not even a _link_; you are 
attempting to click on an illustration which is there to show what you will see 
if you follow the instructions of the wiki to install that Java/Eclipse 
tutorial on your own computer.

Dev list --

After some searching, it seems we are still without a current working
eclipse plugin for development -- correct?

Can someone with eclipse verify that the instructions given on the wiki
page:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/JavaEclipseTuto

don't work?

Thank you for contacting the development list about this. We will make
every effort to correct this link.

And, we do need to do a better job at correcting incorrect links on both
our main website -- www.openoffice.org -- and the wiki if at all possible.

Update the dead hyperlink in openoffice.org?

2014-01-10 Thread shzh zhao 
hi,
when I read the wiki of openoffice.org, found some of the links are dead
now.

for example:
in
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/JavaEclipseTuto
the link of Now click on the *Add* Button on the upper right corner and
paste this *http://drake79.users.sourceforge.net/ooeclipse/site/
* .
this link is dead now.
such issue is a very bad experience for a beginner or a volunteer.
at a regular interval,Aoo should use a tool to scan the website,and update
the dead link to a valid one.
