Hi all,
I found the Sketch project website and concept intriguing and would love to try
out this SW myself, however, the download and setup instructions are a bit terse
(to say the least). I managed to install EGit and cloned the repository (i.e. I
now have 7 org.eclipse.sketch.* projects in my workspacve). And now, what's
next?
How do I build these into proper eclipse plugins? Where do I then place these
plugins or how do I deploy them to run that code?
Would some kind soul be willing to provide some minimal documentation on how to
get Sketch from source to executing?
Michael

I managed to get the Sketch version I checked out yesterday running, created a project and then a shapes file, but - alas - it's
still VERY unstable. I never came to the point, where it actually starts recognising shapes (as seen in the video). After at most
the second or third shape drawn I usually ran into an endless exception cycle with the below exception.
The idea IMHO is brilliant, but I guess, I'll have to keep waiting and watching how things evolve!
This was using a freshly updated Eclipse Helios.
Cheers,
Michael

Thanks Michael,
It is very unstable, thats why we didnt made an official release yet. =/
Can you please check if sketches.xml is created at your runtime folder?
I will investigate this further, this is very important -- I had no idea it was that bad.

Hi Michael, the '40 .svg files with handdrawn shapes' sounds as expected,
although they must be cleaned up by the runtime when you leave.
I assume you are running a full Eclipse IDE on your target platform and not an RCP application, right?
Is the Control view being shown wither way?
If not, could you please file a couple bugs on sketch?
Thank you for the feedback :)

I guess it didn't get that far since I had to kill eclipse due to the endless ecxception loop.

Right, a full eclipse helios (the J2EE variant, if I recall correct).

yes, there is a control view.

You are welcome! Looking forward to new versions of Sketch! Since I own a tablet PC (MotionComputing) it would be REALLY cool to be
able to sketch drawings with it as well!
Cheers,
Michael
