[mdt-ocl.dev] M6a for EclipseCon

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Adolfo

The M6 build seems good, and I'm able to prepare my EclipseCon workspace 
just by
selecting Acceleo+GMF+OCLExamples+QVTo+UML2+Xtext from the staging repo.

Unfortunately the SWT guys seem to be ignoring

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=340113

which is fairly devasting for the Acceleo part of the tutorial since 
regenerating a
Java file and changing its markers locks up the entire Editor Area.

I was going to recommend Platform M5 + M6 projects. At least on M5 the 
SWT issues were benign popups, but no more. A practice install now gives 
M5 issues too. Maybe there's an unpleasant SWT/Xtext/Acceleo editor 
interaction; might also explain why content assist doesn't work in JDT. 
Oh well, I'll just have to apologise for 'platform' excitements.

Of course I've found some Console/Editor issues that could be smoother, 
so if the N-builds are blue, can you do an M6a on Sunday evening/Monday 
morning (Spanish time); then I can offer an upgrade on Monday afternoon 
(California time).

    Regards
