Hi:

The build is being transitioned to Maven, but I have not been able to get that to complete for SNS since the recent EPICS meeting. In the fullness of time, the idea is that it should work and the docbook would then be updated to describe it, but right now it's in an intermediate state.

What works for me is still the approach that Matt describes, import the plugins as before into the IDE. To be able to do that, you may want to delete the core/.project and applications/.project files because they tend to hide the underlying plugin .project files.

Note that the 'master' branch now builds with Eclipse 4.4, the current release of Eclipse, while the 3.x branch uses Eclipse 3.7.2 as a target.

Thanks,
Kay

Note that I'm using Eclipse Luna as my development IDE, you should also be able to use this as long as you select an appropriate target platform to build the 3.3.x sources against.
