'''Notice 1:''' All Eclipse components can be installed from ESbox or Pluthon garage projects, PC Connectivity from Diablo extras-devel repository and Virtual SDK Images from maemo development environment download page http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php

'''Notice 2:''' Eclipse 3.4.1 IDE for C/C++ Developers and all needed generic Eclipse plugins and ESbox and Pluthon plugins will be installed together with installation packages available from ESbox and Pluthon garage projects.

'''Notice 3:''' For USB Networking to work between Internet Tablet running Diablo platform and host PC running Microsoft Windows, Internet Tablet kernel needs to be fixed. Kernel patch (together with new kernel image) for Diablo is available from maemo development environment download page http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php

== Operating System Support ==
 
Supported operating systems:
* Maemo Eclipse Integration supports fully same latest Linux Ubuntu distributions that Maemo SDK releases support
* Maemo Eclipse Integration has initial level support for Windows XP for PC Connectivity, ESbox and Pluthon plugins
** ESbox Windows support is implemented using native installation for Eclipse environment and Maemo Virtual SDK Image to run Scratchbox and Maemo SDK
** Pluthon has native Windows support because it does not require Scratchbox or Maemo SDK to be installed to the host PC
* See instructions how to setup and configure Windows host PC from here: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wiki/index.php?ESboxOutsideLinuxWithVirtualMachine&id=192&type=g
* '''Notice:''' USB Networking to work properly between Internet Tablet running Diablo platform and Windows host PC Internet Tablet kernel needs to be patched. Required patch and new Diablo kernel image are available from here http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php

== Main Product Specific Features ==

=== Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers ===

Both ESbox and Pluthon installation packages from garage include all needed Eclipse components for the release, including all used generic Eclipse plugins and Eclipse 3.4.1 IDE itself.

'''Notice:''' If only Maemo Pluthon plugin for Eclipse is used it does not require Maemo SDK installation on host PC. For Maemo ESbox plugin for Eclipse you need to install Maemo Diablo SDK for your Linux system. See instructions from here http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_4-1-2_diablo/

=== Maemo PC Connectivity ===

Main features:
* Open ssh used as basic connectivity framework between Internet tablet and host PC
* sshfs and User Mode NFS support for mounts between host PC and Tablet
* sbrsh (Scratchbox Remote Shell) support to start applications on SDK to run on Internet Tablet
* X11VNC support with native clients and Eclipse plugin
* Easy installation using single click installation or apt-tool in Internet Tablet to install from maemo Diablo extras-devel repository
* Easy configuration and usage with Network Manager and Connection Switcher applets installed to Internet Tablet
* Support for all three USB networking, wlan and Bluetooth connectivity types (USB instructions here: http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/documentation_usbnet.html)
* All PC Connectivity functionality is independent from Eclipse IDE e.g. usable also without installing Eclipse IDE

=== Maemo ESBox plugin for Eclipse ===

Main features:
* Easy PC-Tablet connectivity with maemo PC Connectivity
* C, C++ and Python programming language support
* Templates for the most common type of maemo applications
* Build application with x86 target
* Launch and test application on x86 target
* Debug application on x86 target
* Search for memory leaks using Valgrind on x86 target
* Cross-compile application with ARMEL target 
* Debug application on the Internet Tablet using GDB or GDB Server
* Performance test on Internet Tablets using OProfile
* Maemo installation package creation wizard

=== Maemo Pluthon plugin for Eclipse ===

Main features:
* Easy PC-Tablet connectivity with maemo PC Connectivity
* Python programming language support
* Templates for the most common type of maemo applications
* Develop application directly on the Internet Tablet
* Debug application on the Internet Tablet using pyDev

=== Maemo C++ and Python programming language support ===

By default, the maemo development environment supports the C programming language but 
you may add support for other programming languages. Instructions how to install maemo 
support for C++ and Python application development can be found from here
http://maemo.org/development/documentation/programming_languages/.

The maemo development environment defines helpful meta packages that install all the 
components and tools for C++ and Python development for the for maemo SDK and 
Internet Tablet. Maemo Eclipse Integration will install these meta packages automatically into your environment if you have not done it already when you create your first C++ or Python project.

== Generic Known Issues ==

* To search memory leaks Valgrind needs to be installed manually to the x86 target (http://maemo.org/development/tools/).
* To make performance profiling OProfile needs to be installed manually to the device (http://maemo.org/development/tools/).
* Alpha 2 version of x11vnc server in Internet Tablet may crash if key is pressed and there is no mapping for that key. Workaround is to add manually missing key mappings as explained here: http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/documentation_x11vnc.html
