Status: IN WORK

In this tutorial I've used Arch Linux OS, but the configuration instructions of the programs should be the same on Windows OS.

WARNING

If You Are Using Windows Vista/7:

• Do not pair 32bit Eclipse and 64bit JRE/JDK or vice versa. Use 32bit Eclipse on 32bit JRE/JDK, or 64bit Eclipse on 64bit JRE/JDK.
• Do not install Eclipse under 'Program Files' or 'Program Files(x86)' folder.

Using Linux distro:

• Make sure SWT requirements if you have troubles with Content Assist or Internal Web Browser.
  • CSS styles appear in Content Assist Information.
  • Internal Web Browser is unavailable (cannot be opened or such).
