Install from Eclipse in ubuntu 11.0.4 fails

[Pedro J. Aphalo]

Hello! Hola!
Is anybody still following this forum? I tried to install Modulipse from inside Eclipse in ubuntu 11.0.4 and received the error pasted below. Any idea of how to install Modulipse in ubuntu? I already got gnu Modula-2 working.

Thanks for any help!

Hi!
First of all, some bad news: the project is currently unmantained. Unfortunately, I don't have time for this and I don't think I get round to update it in the foreseeable future.
As for the issue you've reported, I guess it's a version compatibility problem. Modulipse was developed for Eclipse 3.2.0 and probably it's not compatible with the most modern version shipped with Ubuntu 11.0.
Maybe you'll get luckier downloading the whole bundle from https://sourceforge.net/projects/modulipse/files/modulipse/0.0.3/

Thanks! Your suggestion worked. I have it working now under Ubuntu 11.04 and I managed to compile and link a couple of simple examples. In the near future I will be trying to compile some Modula-2 programs that I wrote in the late 80's and early 90's with Logitech's and Multiscope compilers under MS-DOS. It will not be too easy as they used the "Window Machine" environment to manage screen in/out.
Under Ubuntu the help does not work (gives an error instead of opening a browser). Under windows it does work, so I can study the help there. It is really a pity that Modulipse is not being maintained, but of course it is sometimes difficult to find free time for such projects. My experience with Java is minimal (and using Netbeans) and I have no experience with Eclipse at all. Once more, many thanks for developing Modulipse, it will be of great help in my project!
