We had numerous requests from (potential) users to provide Linux support and we're happy to announce that it is finally here.
nWire was tested successfully on Ubuntu 8.04, running Eclipse 3.4.1 with Sun's JDK 1.5.0_15. It should be fine on Eclipse 3.3 too and other JDKs. We don't expect any problems with different Linux distros: it should run just fine where Eclipse can run. If you do encounter a problem, please let us know.
There are some minor known issues at the moment when running on Linux, in the visual area of the navigator: the selection color hides the selected text and the column resizing is a bit slow. Other than that, it works just fine.
The installation is just like any other platform, using our Eclipse update site. If you are running on Linux, we invite you to download nWire today.
