Using nightly builds under Windows (XP or Vista)
First download a nightly build version of descent in here!
If you don't have descent installed previously over svn I recommend to do so!
Read the installation and configuration manuals at the descent project page at "Documentation",
or go directly to "Installing the plugin".
Then follow these steps:
- Unpack the nightly build zip-file in a folder of your choice.
- Close any running eclipse instance.
- Change to the eclipse application folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\eclipse" or at a 64bit Windows "C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse" or wherever you've installed eclipse).
- Remove the old descent installation files at "eclipse\features\" called "descent.ui.DATE" (e.g. "descent.ui_0.5.2.20080501")
- Remove all the jar-files at "eclipse\plugins\" with a descent-prefix (e.g. "descent.astview_0.5.2.20080501.jar").
- Now move your previously unpacked nightly builds -folders ("features" and "plugins") to your eclipse installation location and merge them with the existing ones.
- Configure descent if necessary. To do so read "Configuring the plugin".
- Start eclipse and start a new d-project or continue your work on an existing project.
