Please consider addressing this for M7. I would also suggest appending the Java 6 requirement to the text file. Thank you. I have setup platform specific README.TXT files: org.eclipse.orion.releng/builder/rootfiles/win32 org.eclipse.orion.releng/builder/rootfiles/linux org.eclipse.orion.releng/builder/rootfiles/mac They are all just the same README currently, I haven't changed the actual content yet. Regarding the newlines on windows, I think we have to do something to git for this because we are checking out on a linux machine for the build. > Regarding the newlines on windows, I think we have to do something to git for > this because we are checking out on a linux machine for the build. The eol=crlf attribute in gitattributes [1] may be what we want. [1] http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html John also suggested perhaps using html instead of plain text which avoids the line ending problem. We will be combining the platform specific readme's into a single html file *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 347870 *** |
Currently the README.txt file included in Orion builds says: > Running > ./eclipse > will start the http server on port 8080. Open a browser on > http://localhost:8080 > to get started. These steps really only make sense on Linux. On Mac OS, you need to double-click Eclipse.app and on Windows run eclipse.exe. Also, the README uses \n for newlines, so on Windows it displays as one very long line and is hard to read.
