Building orion in Eclipse SDK Version: 4.2.2 Build id: M20130204-1200 as described in http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Getting_the_source#Install_the_Eclipse_SDK leads following error popup (though the configuration can be run): You have selected a target with a newer version than your current Eclipse installation. This can cause unexpected behavior in PDE. Please use a newer version of Eclipse. What is the best Eclipse download to use to build orion from git master branch? Thanks! Adrian
Orion 3.0 is built and tested with Eclipse Platform 4.3, since they are both part of the combined Kepler simultaneous release coming out in June. You can use an Eclipse Kepler release candidate such as RC2: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.3RC2a-201305262000/ On the other hand you can ignore that warning. A 4.2 release should be fine in this case.
Thanks for the info, John! Since my bug is INVALID, is there a better way to request updates to the Orion wiki content? I think it's useful to get this potential perceived hurdle out of the way for future developers willing to give Orion a try. My motivation to document these issues is driven by my gratitude for solutions I can readily find for problems I bump into daily. Perhaps the next guy will find this and know it is fine to build Orion target platform with Juno for now.
Sorry I missed the part about the wiki. I just thought you were asking a question and once the question was answered we didn't need the bug. You are welcome to just go ahead and correct any errors you see in the wiki. If you are unsure you are welcome to enter more bug reports, or ask on the mailing list. I agree keeping the docs updated is important and pointing out any errors in them is most appreciated. I only marked the bug invalid because typically we use FIXED to indicate a change was made in our built code to resolve it.
Thanks! How about my update to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Getting_the_source#Install_the_Eclipse_SDK Feel free to re-word. I also find a date useful when people talk about "now".
I have updated at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Getting_the_source#Install_the_Eclipse_SDK I cleaned up the wording for Kepler and the package name for the Eclipse Git Team Provider changed so fixed that as well. I also added to install the Eclipse Web Developer Tools package. If you do not, by default Eclipse will open CSS and JavaScript files in an external editor, if one even exists on your workstation, which is somewhat annoying.
Marking as a readme bug. The Orion target definition includes a specific version of the Eclipse/OSGi core plug-ins (4.3 Kepler when this bug was reported). Eclipse will warn you if you are running an Eclipse version earlier than what the target definition specifies. It is unlikely, but possible, that you will run into compatibility problems when launching Orion with an older version of Eclipse.
