[Erlide-devel] Feedback on the developer's manual
Hello, I have been following the developer's manual to get started. (http://erlide.sourceforge.net/devman.html) I have several fixes (at least for version 3.1.2): - In section 1.3 Build: The last bullet is not needed as it is already in bullet number 2. - A second bullet should be added stating: «In the main tab, select the "Program to run" to be "Run an application". The default value (org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench) is fine.» If it is somewhere is the CVS, I can update it. Are there any recommendation regarding the JDK version to use ? 1.4 or 1.5 ? -- Mickaël Rémond http://www.process-one.net/ --- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!

What will it change in the workflow ? There shouldn't be any impact. Rignt now, projects are built using a builder implemented inside Erlide that tries to be incremental by watching the involved resources (using the Eclipse API) and recompiling when necessary. It does now handle even yrl files. This is okay for simple cases, but when the dependencies are becoming non-trivial it would mean to reimplement Make - which is unnecessary. Also, many projects already have a Makefile. It is Jakob who is implementing this, but I feel confident to answer that it will work on Windows if there is an appropriate make implementation installed (I suppose there will be a configuration pae for this). One related issue is that when the project is complex and maybe includes some C code or IDL specifications, there is no way to import the Makefile into Eclipse in the general case. It would be needed because Erlide still needs to parse the code and to find all include files and such. The current solution is to search the project directory for all directories with erl and hrl files and later let the user strip away any unneeded ones and add any external ones. This isn't optimal, but we hope it will be acceptable as a one-time job until someone comes with a better idea. best regards, Vlad --- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!

I am currently working on the documentation, which will include the developer's manual. It is located in the erlide-help project. I am using a docbook document as a source from which html and pdf documentation will be generated. The tool I use is XXE (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/) Are there any recommendation regarding the JDK version to use ? 1.4 or 1.5 ? I use both, the only thing to remember is to generate code for 1.4 and to use a 1.4 JRE as target. Otherwise 1.5 stuff might sneak in and not work on 1.4 VMs. I considered using retroweaver to be able to develop on 1.5 (with generics and stuff) and run on 1.4, but it's not a trivial job to set it up and I let it go to the bottom of the priority list. regards, Vlad --- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!

[Erlide-devel] Supporting Eclipse 3.2
Hi all, Version 3.2 is almost ready now, with many improvements, not the least performance-wise. Personally, I'd like to make the switch to the new version. However, 3.2 has some incompatible changes from 3.1, which make it difficult to support both versions. (I'd say that given the conditions, it would be almost impossible) Since the user base is still small, I think it would be less painful to upgrade sooner than later. This would probably mean during the summer. Does anyone have something to say about that? best regards, Vlad --- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!

Switching now will probably less painfull, you are right, and I have no problem upgrading to support Erlide. -- Mickaël Rémond http://www.process-one.net/ --- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!

[Erlide-devel] Bug report: null pointer exception on new file
Hello, When I create a new file in the IDE, it seems to always create a null pointer exception preventing to access the file for edition. When I restart Erlide, I can again access the file for edition. Here is the start of the stack trace: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.erlide.core.erlang.ErlScanner.(ErlScanner.java:44) at org.erlide.ui.util.ErlModelUtils.getScanner(ErlModelUtils.java:139) at org.erlide.ui.editors.erl.EditorConfiguration.getBracketMatcher(EditorConfiguration.java:120) I have started looking at the code. I suspect something in the model is not updated and can in some case return a null ErlScanner. I do not yet understand the model part, however, so I am a little bit stuck.

Re: [Erlide-devel] Bug report: null pointer exception on new file
Thank you for the report. I get a NPE somewhere else, so there are several places where we should check for null pointers... Also, please use the Sourceforge bug tracker, it's easier to manage the problems. Opening Window->Prefereneces->Erlang will display links to the different trackers. regards, Vlad On 5/28/06, Mickael Remond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, When I create a new file in the IDE, it seems to always create a null pointer exception preventing to access the file for edition.

Until it at least works in beta form on 3.2, I can't use Erlide. -a --- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk! Fully trained technicians.
