Hi Sveta,

Thanks for doing that - I have had a look through your patch and it looks
really good.

Your suggestions for changes to the DRLVM document look good too.  I
couldn't really find any good links for getting started with Java
programming in Eclipse on their website, the only thing that came close was
this - http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp, which has some getting
started tutorials within the page.  There might be some better articles out
there on other sites though, or we could just direct people to the help
system or 'cheat sheets' within their Eclipse installation.

Thanks,

Sian
