[antlr-interest] Problem Installing ANTLR on Ganymede Eclipse 3.4.2 on OS X 10.4.11

[Edgar Espina]

Hi,

  ANTLR IDE runs on Eclipse 3.3/3.4/3.5. I tested the plugin with all those
distribution without any trouble.
  Now, that kind of problem is caused by p2 (the new update manager for 3.4
or higher). The p2 version released with Eclipse 3.5 is a lot clever a works
like a charm. I can't tell you what exactly could be the problem, although
you can try the following:
  1- start eclipse with -clean command and try to install ANTLR IDE again.
  2- if the previous option doesn't works try this:
    2.1 download the zip distribution from sourceforge.
    2.2 locate the "eclipse/dropins" folder
    2.3 create a folder called "antlride"
    2.4 unzip the plugin there
    2.5 start eclipse with the -clean command
    2.6 some information on what we did here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started#Dropins

If any of the this options works, just try with a clean eclipse distribution
:(.

if you need more help, you can open a discussion at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/antlrv3ide/ and we can track it from there.

Thanks,

edgar
