RE: Announce: Goo Editor Plugin for Eclipse

Chris,

I really need to write up some kind of document for how to use it.  So,
here's the 5-minute tour:

1.  As you have already done, just unzip the tarball into your plugins
directory.

2.  When you start up, Goo support will be enabled.  You can create a new
project using the standard "File/New/Project" menu item.

3.  Create a new file in the project called "<whatever>.goo"

4.  Start typing -- this will give you the fontified syntax highlighting,
etc.

5.  To run a Goo inferior process, make sure you set the path to the Goo
runtime under "Workbench/Preferences/Goo Options."  It's under the 
"Code Assist" Tab, called "Goo Runtime Location".  Make sure the path
includes the executable's name.  On my system that looks like:

"C:\fulgham\projects\goo-0.131\bin\goo.exe"

It defaults to:  "C:\Goo\goo.exe"

Then, while you have a Goo file open in an editing window, you will see
a new button pop up on the button bar (it shows a running person).  If
you click on this button it will launch the process.

Note:  You may have to go under "Perspective/ShowView" menu and select
the Console option to raise the console window.

That should do it.  Let me know if you run into any other trouble.

Thanks,

-Brent
