How to make Cloudio work in Eclipse?

I want to use word-clouds in my Eclipseplugin. I've come to the conclusion that using Cloudio would be the best solution. But I sadly can't make it work.

When I try to re-create one of the examples on the website, I get unresolved imports, for example:

The import org.eclipse.zest.cloudio cannot be resolved

But I can neither find Cloudio when I try to add id as a required plugin to the manifest, nor I can find a jar anywhere. So how to I make Cloudio work?

Solution

  • So, I figured how it's done:

    1. Download GEF4.Cloudio from Help -> Install new Software using site: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/gef4/updates/releases.

    2. Now you can add GEF4.Cloudio in the manifest required plugin-ins.

    3. When using examples from the Cloudio wiki page, replace org.eclipse.zest.cloudio... with org.eclipse.gef4.cloudio...
