Correct Worksheet update site to use with current IDE nightlies #171

Closed ricksladkey closed 10 years ago

ricksladkey commented 10 years ago

In case anyone else is having this problem, I found it incredibly difficult to locate the correct Scala Worksheet update site to use corresponding to the current Scala IDE nightlies. I found some old messages and literally guessed what the correct path might be and it seems to be correct. Anything else will be incompatible.

At the time of this writing, if you are using Scala IDE Lithium for 2.10.x download site for the IDE, you should use Nightly Scala Worksheet for 2.10 for the worksheet.

If you are wondering, I have to avoid Scala IDE 4.0.0 Milestone 1 due to bugs that affect my current project.

This issue may be closed without further action if so desired.

Maybe I'm missing something, but those update sites are listed in the top level README and in the home page of the wiki. Maybe you have a suggestion on what we could change to make it a bit simpler to discover them? We know where to look, so it is a bit tough to see if it is hard to find or not.

Now I feel like an idiot, but Google was not my friend finding those pages and this GitHub repository is not referenced from the Scala IDE download pages as far as I can tell. Anyway, I've added a pointer to the link on the page that Google did help me find, the number one hit: Getting Started in the wiki. Please check it out and adjust if needed.

Love the worksheet feature!

Thanks.

Thanks for updating the wiki. We will have to create a real webpage at some point.
