-<h1>Flexible Task Graphs: Getting Started with the Code</h1>
-
-<p>The Flexible Task Graphs system is packaged so that the same
-initial installation procedure serves all three of the following roles.
-<dl>
-<dt>end user</dt><dd>a programmer of real time Java applications</dd>
-<dt>system extender</dt><dd>a programmer writing plugins containing new
-schedulers, timing grammars, distributers, or tracing packages</dd>
-<dt>core developer</dt><dd>a programmer engaged in evolving the Flexotask
-model itself</dd>
-</dl>
-
-<p>The project does not publish file releases for download. Instead,
-we release code through the Eclipse update mechanism. You first
-become an "end user" via this update mechanism and then, optionally,
-connect to the source repository. The detailed instructions on
-repository access are in the Eclipse-based documentation that comes
-with the end user installation. It is not necessary to connect to the
-repository to view the source because the Eclipse-based install
-includes source attachments.
-
-<p>We use a unified approach to all three potential user roles because
-we believe that (1) even if you are not an end user you will need to
-emulate an end user to test functionality. (2) Even if you are not a
-core developer you may end up submitting patches if you find the model
-to be deficient in supporting the plugin that you are designing or the
-application you are designing. (3) Even though we don't expect
-application programmers to routinely extend the system, you may find
-that you need to write your own scheduler or distributer to support
-your needs.
-
-<p>We first describes the installation procedure in a nutshell; this
-may be good enough for users who are familiar with Eclipse and its
-update mechanism. Next, we provide a step-by-step procedure that
-should work for those less familiar with Eclipse. But, bear in mind
-that some familiarity with Eclipse will eventually be required to work
-with the Flexible Task Graphs system.
-
-<p>After installation, with Eclipse started, select <b>Help→Help
-Contents</b> and then select <b>Flexible Task Graphs</b> to learn the
-next steps.
-
-<h2>Quick Installation Instructions</h2>
-
-<p>Flexible Task Graphs are packaged as an Eclipse feature available
-on this Eclipse update site:
-
-<pre>
-http://flexotask.sourceforge.net/update-site
-</pre>
-
-<p>You must be using Eclipse 3.3 or later (Eclipse 3.4 or later makes
-the installation a little easier) and you must be running on a Java5
-(or later) JRE.
-
-<p>The <b>Plug-in Development Environment</b> (PDE) and <b>Graphical
-Editing Framework</b> (GEF) are prerequisites for Flexible Task
-Graphs. If you are using Eclipse 3.4, these prerequisites will be
-installed automatically by Eclipse from an available update site. If
-you are using Eclipse 3.3, you must first ensure that you have these
-prerequisites, installing them from an appropriate Eclipse update
-site.
-
-<p>In addition to the core Flexible Task Graphs feature there is also
-a Flexotask-TuningFork feature which is useful if you also use the <a
-href="http://tuningforkvp.sourceforge.net">Tuning Fork Visualization
-platform</a> and wish to use it to instrument Flexible Task Graphs.
-
-<h2>Step By Step Instructions</h2>
-
-<h3>Install a Java5 JRE or Later for Running Eclipse</h3>
-
-<p>If you already have a JRE at the Java5 level (sometimes labelled
-version 1.5) or higher, skip this step. If you don't, there is a list
-of suitable VMs for running Eclipse on <a
-href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/jre.php">the Eclipse
-site</a>. Note that the Eclipse recommendations include older JREs
-but you must use a Java5 or later version for Flexotask work.
-
-<h3>Install Eclipse (Version 3.3 or Later)</h3>
-
-<p>If you are already using Eclipse and your version is at least 3.3,
-skip this step. Otherwise, visit the <a
-href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads">Eclipse site</a> and install a
-suitable version of Eclipse or arrange to upgrade your existing
-version. If you have never used Eclipse before, we recommend you
-start with the <b>Eclipse IDE for Java Developers</b>, but you can use
-other versions like <b>Eclipse Classic</b> or the <b>Eclipse IDE for
-Java EE Developers</b> if they suit your other needs better.
-
-<p>Note that if you are really new to Eclipse you might want to spend
-some time evaluating it and learning to use it before returning to
-these instructions. The Flexible Task Graphs development environment
-is built on Eclipse.
-
-<h3>Make Sure your Eclipse Is Running on the Java5 JRE</h3>
-
-<p>You may have the right version of Eclipse and have installed a
-new-enough JRE but you have to make sure that your Eclipse runs on
-that JRE. By default, Eclipse will use the JRE that is in the PATH.
-You can determine whether the appropriate JRE is in the PATH by typing
-"java -version" at the command prompt. If this does not give the
-desired result, either change the PATH or arrange to start Eclipse
-with the -vm option as described in the
-<b>eclipse/readme/readme_eclipse.html</b> document that comes with
-your Eclipse installation.
-
-<h3>Check that You have Prerequisite Features (Eclipse 3.3 only)</h3>
-
-<p>You can skip this step if you are using Eclipse 3.4 or later: the
-Eclipse update feature, which you will use to install Flexible Task
-Graphs, will install the prerequisite features automatically. You can
-also skip this step if you are sure you already have the Plugin
-Development Environment (PDE) and the Graphical Editing Framework
-(GEF) as part of your Eclipse installation.
-
-<p>If you are using Eclipse 3.3 and are not sure whether you have the
-prerequisite features, select <b>Help→About Eclipse Platform</b>
-and then select <b>Feature Details</b>. If there is a row with
-<b>org.eclipse.gef</b> in the <b>Feature Id</b> column then you have
-GEF. Similarly, if there is a row with the id <b>org.eclipse.pde</b>,
-you have the PDE. If you have both you are done.
-
-<p>Otherwise, select <b>Help→Software Updates→Find And
-Install</b>, then select <b>Search For New Features to Install</b>.
-Check the <b>Europa Discovery Site</b> and press <b>Finish</b> (the
-name of the primary feature update site may differ if you didn't
-obtain your 3.3 Eclipse as part of the Europa distribution). You may
-then be asked to select a mirror, after which you should see a panel
-with <b>Select Features to Install</b>. Drill down to find the
-<b>Graphical Editing Framework</b> under <b>Graphical Editors and
-Frameworks</b> and/or the <b>Eclipse Plug-in Development
-Environment</b> under <b>Java Development</b> (select either or both
-according to your needs). Then complete the rest of the dialog to
-install the features.
-
-<h3>Install Flexible Task Graphs</h3>
-
-<p>The update procedure is sufficiently different between Eclipse 3.3
-and 3.4 that it may be clearer to describe the process separately for
-each.
-
-<h4>Installation under Eclipse 3.3</h4>
-
-<p>Select <b>Help→Software Updates→Find And Install</b>,
-then select <b>Search For New Features to Install</b>. Press the
-button labeled <b>New Remote Site</b>. Under <b>Name</b> enter
-<b>Flexible Task Graphs</b> and under <b>URL</b> enter
-<b>http://flexotask.sourceforge.net/update-site</b>. The <b>Flexible
-Task Graphs</b> site should appear in <b>Sites to Include in
-Search</b>. Make sure it is the only site checked and press
-<b>Finish</b>.
-
-<p>You should see a panel with <b>Select Features to Install</b>.
-Drill down to find the <b>Flexible Task Graphs Feature</b> under
-<b>Base Programming Support</b> and check it. If you plan to use the
-<a href="http://tuningforkvp.sourceforge.net">Tuning Fork
-Visualization platform</a> to instrument Flexible Task Graphs, then
-you should also drill down to find <b>Flexotask Tuningfork Tracing</b>
-under <b>Tracing Packages</b>. Then complete the rest of the dialog
-to install the features.
-
-<h4>Installation under Eclipse 3.4</h4>
-
-<p>Select <b>Help→Software Updates</b>, then choose the tab
-entitled <b>Available Features</b>. Press the button labeled <b>Add
-Site</b>. Under <b>Location</b> enter
-<b>http://flexotask.sourceforge.net/update-site</b>. This URL should
-appear, with the available features and their categories listed
-underneath. Check the <b>Flexible Task Graphs Feature</b> under
-<b>Base Programming Support</b>. If you plan to use the <a
-href="http://tuningforkvp.sourceforge.net">Tuning Fork Visualization
-platform</a> to instrument Flexible Task Graphs, then also check
-<b>Flexotask Tuningfork Tracing</b> under <b>Tracing Packages</b>.
-Then complete the rest of the dialog to install the features.
