[e-lang] Clueless with Joe-E and Eclipse

[Adrian Mettler]

Thanks for your interest in Joe-E!

Mostly for silly reasons, the release on the website is not compatible 
with Eclipse 3.4.  (It's manifest file declares dependencies on other 
plugins that it doesn't actually depend on, and which no longer exist in 
  Eclipse 3.4; these have been removed in svn.)  There are also a few 
things that don't work quite right with 3.4 which still need to be fixed.
For the time being, you can:
- use the most recent release version with Eclipse 3.3
- hack it to load on Eclipse 3.4 by removing the bogus dependencies (but 
you may encounter 3.4-specific bugs).  I can send you a version with the 
modifed manifest if you like.
- wait a few more days

I am planning to release a new version very soon (which will also 
include a command-line verification option) once I fix the bugs that 
cause unit tests to fail with 3.4.
