Corona Demo

Eclipse Home Wiki Home User Guide

Corona 1.0.0M7 Demo

The demo is intended to guide you with Corona that you can see current Corona features.

The demo will start 3 instances of Eclipse. The 1st instance is a non-UI Eclipse environment that is the Corona server. This is a server-side Eclipse environment used to host OSGi bundles and non-UI Eclipse plugins. The 2nd and 3rd instances are Eclipse Workbenches that will participate with each other in a Workgroup.

Instructions for downloading, setting up, and running the demo are available on the Corona’s installation page.
