Comment 3 for bug 976817

Hi Tony,

thanks for replying so quickly (notice the word play ;)

Yes, I will try creating my own template and see if I can squeeze all the dependencies in it. Thanks for the instructions.

As for the entry point, I think monitoring a python process started by the quickly run command might be difficult in PyDev. It currently has to be configured manually for multiprocess applications and is not that user-friendly (http://pydev.org/manual_adv_remote_debugger.html). It could probably be handled somehow in the Eclipse launcher code to make it automatic, but I think they wouldn't accept a patch that was so specific.

I still think having some sort of dev-script to start it all up would be more ellegant. Imagine the scenario of someone who doesn't have quickly installed (maybe a Windows user?) branching the code to run it only to discover that he can't do it. The entry script could maybe be hidden (not sure how Eclipse sees such files, have to check) or we could create some rule for packaging to ommit this script (and the user should be notified through some comment inside this script not to edit it - that it's there only as a launcher during development).
