scala-ide/docs#104 should be merged before this blog post is merged because it references it.

I couldn't get jekyll to work on my system, thus I don't know yet how the content looks like. May you want to find it out for me? ;)

Any suggestions about improvements?

Btw, I enabled comments, they can be useful here.

I had trouble having jenkins work on your branch as well. The symptom was

huitseeker➜~/Scala/scala-ide.github.com(pr/75)» jekyll serve --baseurl ""
Configuration file: /home/huitseeker/Scala/scala-ide.github.com/_config.yml
            Source: /home/huitseeker/Scala/scala-ide.github.com
       Destination: /home/huitseeker/Scala/scala-ide.github.com/_site
      Generating... 
  Liquid Exception: Included file '_includes/milestone-download-features.txt' not found in download/milestone.md
jekyll 2.1.0 | Error:  Included file '_includes/milestone-download-features.txt' not found

The reason was this branch is based off of an old version of master. A rebase fixed it.


With Scala IDE 4.0.0-M3 a new wizard finds its way into the codebase. In contrast to the existing wizards, which are based on the concept of the Java wizards, this new wizard goes a completely different way.

The design goal was to provide less functionality in order to be simpler and easier to use for everyone. The following screenshot depicts this design goal best:

s/'less functionality'/'less options' ?

Besides, as a first time Eclipse user, how do I get to this window ?

Here's how it looks on my machine.

Very cool ! Thanks for the post. You may want ot have a look at how we make scalable width images. It's a bit more complicated than the regula rmarkdown, but it ensures things stay in the blog column without bleeding over the right-hand menu, whatever the screen width is.

Thanks for your review, I applied all your suggestions and I also persuaded jekyll to show me the blog.

About images: I only added the size hint for one image that is larger than the text area - the other images were scaled up otherwise.
