VirSat Core Developer Manual Improvements

[dellerDLR]

While working through the VirSat Core Developer Manual I found the following points, which could be improved (in no particular order):

• In the header the current chapter should be displayed

• A hint that Virtual Satellite should be extracted in a top level folder in windows, because the path of some files might get too long

• For people using eclipse for the first time, there is no information about the workspace selection window

• Like shown in the picture the concrete Project (in this case Virtual Sattelite 4 Core) could be mentioned

• Since there are a seperate target configuration for windows and linux, this could be also mentioned in the docs. Also that "Set active Target Platform" has to be pressed should be mentioned. See here

• Typo: See here It should be possible to open

• "Contains a reference to a Category Assignment or in the model"
  I think the "or" can be removed or there is something missing after the "or"
  See here

• Somewhere it should be mentioned, that Structural Elements have to be defined before the Categories. Otherwise you get a error message, that "}" is expected when defning a Structural Element after a Category. Maybe even the error message/validator could be improved here.

• There is information missing on how to debug a Virtual Satellite instance with the concepts developed in the IDE

• In the test case example the plugin ID can be retrieved via <packagepath>.getPluginId(). The example used hardcoded strings. The best practise with the method should be demonstrated.

• A short description where exactly own test cases should be added would be nice

• Typo "definded" in the test case example

• The test case is not ready to use, some lines are missing and it does not compile

• Own plugins are created in the workspace folder, which is not version controlled. It should be describes, how to put an own plugin under version control

• Add a description on how to check if the Java API Doc has been updated

CEF

When using the CEF version, it is not described if a normal eclipse or Virsat IDE should be used

I will update this issue with more improvement ideas in the near future.

Also add some description for release management
