< Orion
Revision as of 18:50, 31 January 2011 by Susan franklin.us.ibm.com (Talk | contribs) (→‎Working with Resources)

Welcome to Orion. This page will get you started with using the Orion server, hosted at http://orion.eclipse.org.

Logging into Orion

When you first attempt to access the Orion server, you'll be prompted for credentials. All Eclipse committers have been given an Orion id. Your user name is the email you have registered with the Eclipse Foundation. Your password <will be emailed???>. If you have any questions or your credentials are not working, contact <??????>

Working with Resources

In Orion, each user has a virtual "workspace" where they can work with various folders and files. These files are maintained on the Orion server. Please note that for the time being, data may be periodically deleted from the Orion server.

For demo purposes, we currently populate every user's workspace with two folders that contain some of the Orion client source code. Once you've successfully logged into Orion, you should see two folders:

  • table view and tree view - why we have two
  • creating folders and files (currently only create at child level, point to bug. Note we don't use the word project but there are projects underneath)
  • how to get stuff in (import) - you must be below the root, you must choose a zip, point to bug about dead dialog
