+<h2>General questions:</h2>
+<div id="what">
+<h3>What is ESbox?</h3>
+<p>ESbox is an Eclipse product for developing applications and
+libraries on the Maemo software platform.</p>
+<p>ESbox is strongly integrated with Scratchbox, reducing time and
+effort for configuration and increasing the productivity for Linux-based
+embedded systems development. It supports C/C++ and Python programming
+languages. Maemo 4.x, 5.x, and future SDKs will be supported.</p>
+<p>ESbox also supports deploying, running, and debugging
+applications and libraries on the Nokia Internet Tablet.</p>
+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="licensed">
+<h3>How is ESbox licensed?</h3>
+<p>This software is produced by the ESbox team combined with third
+party software developed from other Open Source Projects. This software
+has been licensed under <a
+ href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html">Eclipse
+Public License Version 1.0 ("EPL")</a>.</p>
+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="organized">
+<h3>How is the ESbox Project organized?</h3>
+<p>ESbox consists of three major layers:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Eclipse platform
+ <blockquote>
+ A popular and extensible framework for
+ developing IDEs. See <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/">the
+ eclipse.org website</a>.
+ </blockquote>
+ </li>
+ <li>Mica (Maemo IDE Common Architecture)
+ <blockquote>A plugin framework
+ supporting both the ESbox and PluThon products, which provides an
+ extensible platform for Maemo development:</blockquote>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Unified project
+ model, with C/C++ and Python implementations</li>
+ <li>Linux development
+ (e.g. Debian packaging, autotools, externalizing strings with gettext)</li>
+ <li>Support for copying files or
+ mounting a project to run, debug, and profile programs on
+ Maemo devices</li>
+ <li>and more! See <a
+ href="https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mica/">the Mica project
+ website</a> for more information.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>ESbox product
+ <blockquote>
+ A targeted set of product plugins, providing
+ the top-level project and import wizards, this help, graphics, and user
+ interface modifications giving ESbox its unique feel as a product.
+ </blockquote>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="releases">
+<h3>How do I find out about future releases of ESbox?</h3>
+<p>To find out about futures releases see the <a
+ href="https://garage.maemo.org/news/?group_id=192" target="_blank">ESbox Garage Project News page</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>For regular integration releases, see the
+ <a href="http://esbox.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/releases.html" target="_blank">ESbox releases page</a>
+ </p>
+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="support">
+<h3>Which operating systems does ESbox support?</h3>
+<p>The ESbox product runs on Linux (32 or 64 bit), Windows XP/Vista,
+and Mac OS X.</p>
+<p>The underlying Scratchbox, on the other hand, only runs on
+Linux/i386. To support non-Linux hosts, ESbox can communicate with a
+virtual machine hosting the Maemo SDK.</p>
+<p>ESbox, though Mica, operates essentially the same way regardless
+of which host you're running on. A limitation, though, is that your
+projects or workspace must be visible to both Scratchbox and the host.
+When Scratchbox is running on a virtual machine, we support this via
+Samba sharing from the host to the VM.</p>
+<p>See the <a href="http://maemovmware.garage.maemo.org/">Maemo SDK virtual image page</a>
+for configured and supported images and the
+<a href="../tasks/virtual_machines.html">ESbox virtual machine documentation</a>.

+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="ask">
+<h3>How do I ask questions?</h3>
+<p>The <a href="https://garage.maemo.org/">garage.maemo.org</a>
+website provides some mailing <a
+ href="https://garage.maemo.org/mail/?group_id=192">lists</a>. Choose a
+list to browse, search, and post messages. Keep in mind that these
+newsgroups are public, so do not include any confidential information in
+your questions. You should also read "How to ask questions the
+smart way" by Eric Raymond before participating in the newsgroups.
+</p>
+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="bug">
+<h3>How do I report a bug or request a feature?</h3>
+<p>The bug and feature trackers are stored at the <a
+ href="https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?group_id=192">ESbox project
+page</a>.</p>
+<p>Before entering a bug report, you should search to see if someone
+else has already entered a bug report similar to yours. If you find a
+bug report that outlines the problem you are seeing, you can simply
+annotate it with your comments to let the developers know that you have
+also hit the bug. Also you can add yourself to the "Monitor"
+list of the bug so that you will be notified when the status of the bug
+changes or someone adds comments.</p>

+<h2>Download and Installation:</h2>
+<div id="howtos">
+<h3>Are there complete HowTos for setting up ESbox?</h3>
+<p>Yes, please see the <a href="http://esbox.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/installation.html">ESbox installation guide</a>.
+You may install either a fully packaged product or update an existing Eclipse 3.4.2 installation over the Internet.

+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="uninstall">
+<h3>How do I uninstall ESbox?</h3>
+<p>Removing plugins from Eclipse is easy. You can browse and manage your configuration from
+the Eclipse Software Updates dialog under Help > Software Updates.</p>
+<p>Select the <em>ESbox 2nd Edition</em> and <em>Mica 2nd Edition</em> features from the list of Installed Software
+and click Uninstall.

+<h3><a name="howtos"></a>How do I work with Scratchbox in ESbox?</h3>
+<h4>System configuration</h4>
+<p>When you first use a command or run a wizard that needs
+Scratchbox, ESbox will automatically scan for Scratchbox 1 and
+Scratchbox 2 installations.
+Currently these conditions must be met:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Scratchbox 1: <b>sb-conf </b> visible and configured
+ on one of the paths configured in the <em>Preferences > Scratchbox 1</em>
+ preferences page.</li>
+ <li>Scratchbox 2: <b>sb2-config </b>and
+ <b>sb2 </b>visible on PATH</li>
+</ul>
+<p >If the programs are not found, then
+the respective Scratchbox will not be usable.</p>
+<p>If your system is not properly configured for Scratchbox, or you're
+using a non-default installation which does not configure itself at startup,
+you may need to
+right-click a Scratchbox SDK (in the <em>Maemo > Installed Targets</em>
+preferences) and invoke <em>Startup</em> to enable it.</p>
+
+<h4>Metaphors in ESbox</h4>
+<p>In ESbox, a Scratchbox 1 or 2 installation is called an
+“SDK”. An individual target (like DIABLO_ARMEL) is a
+“target”.</p>
+<p>See the preference page <em>Window > Preferences > Maemo
+> Installed Targets </em>to
+confirm and modify the Scratchbox installations. You should see a node
+for Scratchbox 1 and/or 2, based on what you have installed, and entries
+for each recognized target underneath. If not, try the <em>Refresh </em>button. </p>
+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="esbox-windows-osx"><a
+ name="esbox-windows-osx|region"></a>
+<h3>How do I work with ESbox in Windows or Mac OS X?</h3>
+<p>The Maemo SDK and tools only run on Linux/x86 at the moment, but
+you may run ESbox on Windows or Mac OS X. To do this, ESbox can use a <b>virtual
+machine</b> to handle all the building and running work.</p>
+<p>The preference page <em>Window > Preferences > ESbox
+> Build Machines </em> is the
+gateway to configuring this facility. </p>
+<p>Please see the
+<a href="http://esbox.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/virtual_machines.html">ESbox virtual machine support documentation</a>
+for all the details.

+<div id="new-scratchbox-sdk"><a

+<h3 >How do I install new versions of
+Scratchbox or new SDKs?</h3>
+<p >You can use the wizards in
+<em>File > New > Other > Maemo Installers</em> to install or upgrade
+Scratchbox 1. Currently Maemo 4 (Diablo) and Maemo 5 Beta (Fremantle)
+are supported.
+</p>
+<p>These wizards are also visible via <em>Window

+Scratchbox 2.

+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="synchronize-packages"><a

+<h3 >How do I synchronize packages
+with my project?</h3>
+<p >When you create a new project (<b>File
+> New > Project > Maemo C or C++ Project </b>or <b>File >
+New > Project > Maemo Python Project</b>), or when you invoke the <b>Project
+> Validate Installed Packages</b> command, ESbox will help you install
+the packages required by one or more projects into one or more
+Scratchbox rootstraps or with configured Nokia Internet Tablets (see the
+next section).</p>
+<p >ESbox will scan autotools-based
+projects for the packages implied by the PKG_CONFIG_CHECK macros in
+configure.ac and install these if missing. For other projects, default
+metapackages recommended by the Maemo Eclipse Integration project will
+be installed.</p>
+<h4 >Networking setup</h4>
+<p >Be sure to visit the <b>Network
+Connections </b>preferences before
+updating packages, so any proxy settinges are established. </p>
+<h4 >If you can't connect to any
+repositories...</h4>
+<p >At the time of this writing, there
+are sometimes issues where no combination of settings will
+seem to allow you to connect to the repositories to update packages
+inside Scratchbox when using proxies and running
+Scratchbox in a virtual machine. This is
+either a problem in scratchbox, in ESbox, in VMware, or in the maemo.org
+hosting providers, or some combination – you choose :).</p>
+<p >As a last resort, you may to edit <b>/etc/hosts
+</b><span style="font-style: normal"><span
+ style="font-weight: medium">inside each Scratchbox rootstrap and
+enter a manual address for repository.maemo.org, e.g.:</span></span></p>
+<p style="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none"><b>206.57.28.43

+</p>
+<p
+ style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: medium; text-decoration: none">
+When updating packages inside a Nokia Internet Tablet, you may also need
+to disconnect any “static” USB, WLAN, or Bluetooth
+connections and directly connect the tablet to a WLAN that can access
+the Internet, otherwise traffic may simply flow into the host computer
+and die there.</p>

+<div id="development-setup"><a
+ name="development-setup|region"></a>
+<h3 >How do I set up my tablet for
+development?</h3>
+<p >The first important step is to
+install the <em>maemo-pc-connectivity</em> metapackage. This will install
+the proper servers on your tablet so you can access it from your PC for
+the purpose of remote SSH launching, copying files, debugging, and using
+Scratchbox Remote Shell.</p>
+<p >You also need to set up your tablet
+for R&D mode (so you may become root, and install Debian packages,
+update the system from ESbox, etc).</p>
+<p >Also, you must install the
+host-side programs needed for communication with the tablet programs in
+maemo-pc-connectivity. (These are preinstalled in the virtual machine
+images or available in the <em>host-pc-connectivity</em> package.)</p>
+<p><b>All the details
+</b>are on the <a
+ href="http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/">PC connectivity garage project page</a>.</p>
+</div>
+<hr>
+<div id="configure-for-esbox"><a
+ name="configure-for-esbox|region"></a>
+<h3 >How do I configure my tablet for
+use with ESbox?</h3>
+<p >ESbox integrates the Eclipse Remote
+System Explorer project, which provides a common framework for
+interacting with remote machines.</p>
+<p >ESbox will automatically create a set of
+RSE connections for the account "user" corresponding to the methods
+of network access supported by PC connectivity.
+</p>
+<p>
+For example, <em>Nokia Internet Tablet (USB)</em> is
+preconfigured with the standard USB address (192.168.2.15) and "user" account.</p>
+<p>Whenever you see these connections in ESbox dialogs, you can right-click
+and <em>Configure...</em> to edit the address or username if your configuration is different.
+Alternately, open the <em>Remote
+Systems </em> view (<em>Window
+> Show View > Other > Remote Systems > Remote Systems</em>) to see
+more complete UI.</p>
+<p>If you forget the address or otherwise mess up the connection, you can
+delete it (using the <em>Remote Systems</em> view) and it will be recreated
+anew the next time you start ESbox.</p>
+<p>
+Currently, there is no
+special behavior associated with any of these connections other than
+the name and default address.

+<h3 >How do I resolve networking
+issues?</h3>
+<p >Network configurations can be
+tricky (and doubly, or triply so, if you are running on Windows or OS
+X). You can expect to become familiar with the “Connection
+problem” dialog.</p>
+<p>The primary line of
+defense is to make sure the connection works from the command line and
+that all the daemons and configurations are set up properly. See the <a
+ href="http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/">PC connectivity site</a>
+for details. Also, be sure you understand the utilities provided in the
+maemo-pc-connectivity project and follow the instructions for
+configuring various types of networks. </p>
+<p >The second line of defense is to
+understand how ESbox uses Eclipse preferences to influence the network.</p>
+<p >The <em>Window > Preferences
+> General > Network Connections </em> preference
+contains the HTTP proxy configuration. This will be used when
+communicating with apt repositories (when validating packages). If you
+do use a proxy, be sure your host and your tablet are both referenced in
+the “No proxy” section. (Note: from my experience, you need
+to specify exact IP addresses here; wildcards and “slash
+notation” do not work.)</p>
+<hr style="height: 1px; width: 50%">
+<div id="Section14">
+<h4 >General issues with virtual
+machines and networking:</h4>
+<p >For <b>most networking
+scenarios, </b>the tablet must be
+visible <b>to the host</b>. In
+other words, they should be on the same network.</p>
+<p >For <b>SBRSH usage</b>,
+ the tablet must be visible <b>to the
+virtual machine</b>. This is because sbrsh runs in the VM
+and the tablet mounts the filesystem from a Scratchbox
+rootstrap.</p>
+<p >In
+general, I have the easiest configuration experience using a WLAN on a network common to
+the host, virtual machine, and device. This requires the <em>Bridged
+Networking </em> configuration in
+VMware or VirtualBox. Unfortunately, this is very slow for debugging too.</p>
+</div>
+<hr style="height: 1px; width: 50%">
+<div id="Section13">
+<h4 >For USB networking:</h4>
+<p >By default, a USB connection will <b>mount
+</b>the removable storage from the
+tablet into your computer. Use the <em>Connection Switcher</em> toolbar icon
+to change the USB connection into a networking connection.</p>
+<p >Typically the addresses used are
+static: <tt>192.168.2.15 </tt> (for
+the tablet) and <tt>192.168.2.14 </tt> (for
+the host).</p>
+<p >If
+the command-line connection (verified with <tt>ssh</tt>) does not
+work, and the tablet is configured for USB networking, use <tt>sudo
+ifdown usb0; sudo ifup usb0</tt> to
+try to reset. This should fix things.</p>
+<p >In
+VMware, an icon in the toolbar or the <tt>VM > Removable Devices
+> Netchip RNDIS / Ethernet Gadget </tt> menu
+will help you quickly “connect” the tablet to the VM or to
+the host.</p>
+<p>In VirtualBox, use a similar pattern. Connect or disconnect the tablet
+via <em>Devices > USB Devices >
+Nokia N8x0 Internet Table</em> or the corresponding toolbar icon.
+</p>
+<p>QEMU (at this
+writing) does not support USB at all, so you will probably need to use
+WLAN.</p>

+<p >The <b>maemo-pc-connectivity</b>
+package will let you configure and use several types of wireless networks
+(WLAN, ad-hoc WLAN, Bluetooth). Refer to that configuration to discover the
+configured IP addresses. For WLAN, the
+tablet will receive a semi-random IP address from the DHCP server.</p>
+<p>In any
+case, you can verify the address and update the corresponding RSE connection like this:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>In
+ the tablet, run <em>Utilities > X Terminal</em>.</li>
+ <li>Execute <tt>/sbin/ifconfig</tt> to
+ see what address is assigned to the <tt>wlan0</tt> (WLAN, ad-hoc WLAN)
+ or <tt>bnep0</tt> (Bluetooth) interface.</li>
+ <li>Copy
+ this address into the connection (in ESbox UI, right-click the <em>Nokia Internet Tablet (...)</em>
+ connection and use <em>Configure...</em>, or edit it via <em>Remote Systems</em> view using
+ <em>Properties > Host</em>). </li>
