Note that for new Eclipse development streams, we only support releases
and stable builds. We do not support nightly or integration
builds, and we do not support any unofficial or experimental patches.
If you load any patches, you do so at your own risk.
Manually installing features and plug-ins on a FAT file system
(Windows only)
Eclipse 3.x and other IDEs based upon Eclipse 3.x may not
immediately recognize new tools if they are not installed using the
Eclipse Install and Update Manager. This occurs because Eclipse 3.x
caches plug-in information for a faster startup at the cost of not
recognizing changes to the installed plugins. To workaround this
problem, include the "-clean" option on the command line
used to startup Eclipse. The "-clean" option causes Eclipse
to reparse and recache the plug-in information, picking up any newly
installed or revised features. Once the plug-in information has been
recached and Designer appears as expected, you can remove the
"-clean" option.
