"Using an IDE" Page outdated

[Nir Lisker]

I think your errors come from the note under "Using Gradle" in the Eclipse
instructions. Gradle doesn't know how to create the correct Eclipse files,
so it overrides the ones in the repo with its incorrect ones. Try to revert
the changes to .project and .classpath files.

You might still get a few errors when looking for external jars because the
root project name is different, but these are trivial to fix. The base
modules should have no errors at the very least.

I should update the instructions to talk about the new repository since the
current ones still mention mercurial.

Is hlsl the "High Level Shading Language" which may be specific to Windows?


Yes, but it should be ignored on non-Windows systems. I will have to
recheck if there's any issue on Linux next time I boot into it, I don't
remember any issues there.
