Eclipse Callisto and BIRT
Eclipse have just released 3.2 and Callisto which is designed to help you fetch all the plugins .
This is a really good idea but it has a couple of glitches.
- Run the find new features to install twice, first time it misses some components that are really useful (e.g. the help for BIRT)
- For BIRT you have to manually install prototype.js - see http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/build/ . For some odd reason this only affects the Callisto version of BIRT and not the stand alone versions. Without this installed BIRT just hangs when you try and set report parameters.
- With all the plugins installed is often runs out of memory - edit the eclipse.ini and change -Xmx256m to -Xmx512m.
