Again, I found quite informative SDK documentation after I created my second virtualmachine to explore maemo5 development.

Scratchbox was easy, but finding something usable on eclipse and esbox is pain. Instructions given here are quite useless. They lead to this page. Probably I stick with scratchbox command line.

it would be better if we have an IDE,
they want more apps=more people=more money,
they must help us to help them

I agree. Three days and I still couldn't figure out how to use the ESBox plugin with ubuntu inside VMWare.

Any chance that working in standard QT IDE could be ported easely to compile in scratchbox? And how's the Maemo API could be tested in such IDE?

The install docs are at : http://esbox.garage.maemo.org/2nd_ed...tallation.html

They got me up and running .. eventually (took me best part of a week)

WHat exactly are you having a problem with?

Trying to run ESBox.sh keeps giving me "The esbox executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library". Google gives 3 restuls for this error but none is relevant.

Installed Eclipse ganymede - gives me a small gray window with nothing inside, and nothing changes.

apt-get the XULRUNNER - and still get the same error with esbox.sh.

Which java do you have installed? Eclipse has historically had problems with less feature complete jvms. I haven't even tried anything but suns jvm with Eclipse in years.

Make sure you have 'sun-java6-jdk' installed and active :-

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
sudo update-alternatives --config java

The first command gave some d/ls info, but the second gave this:
"There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
Nothing to configure."

Still, cannot run ESbox.sh - same error...

If it was downloading stuff after the first command, you probably didn't have the full jdk installed. So we're getting somewhere.

What about normal eclipse?

Does it run now though? (as opposed to the grey box you were getting previously)
