Eclipse Documentation Plugin question

[dmunsie]

Hi everyone,

I'm going through setting up a new machine for S60 development using Carbide.c++ and the 3rd ed FP 2 SDK. When I go to install the SDK after first installing Carbide, ActivePerl, and JRE 1.5, the installer asks me for the path to my existing Eclipse installation so that I can install the documentation plugin. If I navigate to the Carbide.c++ folder, it tells me that the folder doesn't have Eclipse in it or that it's not version 3.0 or newer. Since Carbide.c++ v1.3 is based on Eclipse 4.0, it seems to be confused.

Is there a workaround to get this to work?

Thanks!

Confusing indeed. The SDK is a mixed one, it gives you both Java and Symbian C++ support. If you select to install Java items too, it will ask you for the Eclipse installation since obviously Carbide.c++ does not support Java, you need to have the Eclipse IDE too.

Solutions: chose Custom install and un-select the Java bits

Strange i have not faced this problem may be i used to deselect the JAVA docs and tools. But donot you think the help should be standalone without asking the user/developer to install a IDE that he is not going to use.
