Description Mikhail Lodigin 2012-11-15 18:44:17 UTC

In the development manual at the stage 
4.2.2.1.4.2. Installing the Plug-in Using the Latest Source Code
mentioned that script build.sh should be invoked. If eclipse lacks PDE plugin it will fail. 
By default eclipse do not equipped with pde plugin - I believe it should be mentioned at the Configuring the Eclipse IDE stage

I will take care of fixing this.  

BTW - we need a "Component" in Bugzilla that says "Documentation".  And then products of that component can be:

 - Quick Start
 - Development Manual
 - Application Developer's Guide
 - Reference Manual
 - BSP Guide
 - Kernel Manual
 - Mega Manual

Or, products could be:

 - yocto-product-qs
 - dev-manual
 - adt-manual
 - poky-ref-manual
 - bsp-guide
 - kernel-manual
 - mega-manual

I really don't know who to bring this up to so I am documenting it here for starts.

I think we're not lacking PDE plugin but instead the steps a little messed up, 
it should be
step 1: git clone the repository
step 2: git checkout the desired branch
step 3: cd under the checkout code .e.g eclipse-poky/scripts
step 4: ./setup.sh -- this will setup your local build environment including download all the depended plugins including PDE after this step is done do it'll prompt you to how to run the build.sh by leading with export ECLIPSE_HOME=...

Comment 3 Scott Rifenbark 2012-11-28 01:04:49 UTC

I have updated the section that provides the steps for installing the plug-in from the source code.  The section needs approval from someone and then I can mark the bug RESOLVED. 

Please look at the modified section at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.4/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#zip-file-method.

The updated section looks good... also please file a bug in bugzilla under infrastructure->bugizlla for updating the doc components
