Re: Does gnatbench (Eclipse Ada plugin from Ada Core Technologies) work at all?

Are you using the free version from libre.adacore.com, or the
comercial version?

Now testing under Windows.

Basically after installing it looks as if nothing is installed. Except
the help contents, there is nothing else. Help->About->Installation
details show no feature or plugin with id com.adacore.*.

As a workaround, I told eclipse to add as a directory extension the
installation directory of gnatbench. This is done in Eclipse->Software
Updates->Manage Configuration. (This menu entry does not exist by
default, one has to enable the capability "Classic Update" in
Preferences->General->Capabilities)

In addition, I had to touch the file .eclipseextension in the eclipse
subdirectory of the

Now, in the status of the feature GNATBench the following messages are
shown:

Plug-in "com.adacore.gnatbench.core" version "2.4.0.20091211"
referenced by this feature is missing.

Plug-in "com.adacore.gnatbench.doc.user" version "2.4.0.20091211"
referenced by this feature is missing.

Plug-in "com.adacore.gnatbench.library" version "2.4.0.20091211"
referenced by this feature is missing.

Plug-in "com.adacore.gnatbench.library.win32.x86" version "0.0.0"
referenced by this feature is missing.

Plug-in "com.adacore.gnatbench.ui" version "2.4.0.20091211" referenced
by this feature is missing.

Plug-in "com.adacore.gnatbench.doc.user.standard" version
"2.4.0.20091211" referenced by this feature is missing.

Plug-in "com.adacore.gnatbench.startup" version "0.0.0" referenced by
this feature is missing.


So I check the versions of the plugins, and find that that the
versions requested by the feature do not match the actual versions of
the plugins.
