    Hi Beth,

    the doco at http://x10.sourceforge.net/x10downloads.shtml says to use an update site of http://x10.sourceforge.net/updates/ , which has X10DT 0.1.74  .  I spent a few minutes trying to work out how to get X10DT 0.1.74 working before I found your instructions for the update site at http://dist.codehaus.org/x10/x10dt/1.5/updateSite/ which has X10DT 0.1.93.  Should the Sourceforge doco be updated or one of the update sites decommissioned?

    Many thanks,

    Josh

    Hi Josh,
    So sorry i didn't see this note until now. I am now subscribed to see changes/comments so I hope to be more responsive.

    Yes this site (x10-lang.org) replaces the sourceforge site for web pages and Eclipse update sites for X10DT. The root URL for the SF site redirects here. We are working on cleaning/purging the old info from SF so that the old SF links don't confuse folks.

    Also, the Eclipse download URL for 3.3 changed - i have updated it above.
