File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: Minesweeper Beta2

Notes:

This is the second Beta of Minesweeper for Eclipse.

The zip files, contain the development project (not the runtime project). Currently there
are two plug-ins (one for the logic and one for the help). So to install it, you have to:

(For Minesweeper_b20.zip)
- Open Eclipse.
- Open Plug-in Development perspective.
- Create a new Plug-in Project with this name: es.org.chemi.games.minesweeper
- Go to File System and delete x:\eclipse\workspace\es.org.chemi.games.minesweeper content.
- Copy in x:\eclipse\workspace\es.org.chemi.games.minesweeper the content of the zip file.
- Return to Eclipse and choose the Refresh From Local option.
- Select plugin.xml file.
- Expand Run combo from ToolBar and select Run-time Workbench.

(For Minesweeper_Help_b20.zip)
- Open Eclipse.
- Open Plug-in Development perspective.
- Create a new Plug-in Project with this name: es.org.chemi.games.minesweeper.help
- Go to File System and delete x:\eclipse\workspace\es.org.chemi.games.minesweeper content.
- Copy in x:\eclipse\workspace\es.org.chemi.games.minesweeper.help the content of the zip file.
- Return to Eclipse and choose the Refresh From Local option.
- Select plugin.xml file.
- Expand Run combo from ToolBar and select Run-time Workbench.

Note 1: I have detected a problem with some R2.0 builds. The problem is that swt.jar file is in a 
different directory than in R1.0. If this is your case, you can change the CLASSPATH of the 
project or copy the swt.jar file to x:\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.swt directory.

Note 2: I have detected a problem with some R2.0 builds. The problem is that Help system
doesn't know how to manage more than a single Infoview (so don't install it in R2.0 or if you
install it, don't open the Help Perspective). In R1.0 it works perfectly.

Changes:

 - The plug-in is lincensed by MIT License (check about.html).
 - Resources Management (ResourceManager).
 - New visual widget (CellView).
 - Control the end of the game.
 - Clean zero mines zone.
 - Support for pressing both mouse buttons at the same time.
 - Buttons with Flag can not be pressed.
 - Show wrong mines.
 - Help system (a second plug-in).
