from http://eclipsefp.sourceforge.net/eclipsefp2.html I understand that building scion is automatically done, but can be optionally done it it's too long.
but from http://eclipsefp.sourceforge.net/build.html I see that I do have to build it. But :

cabal: dependencies conflict: ghc-6.12.3 requires Cabal ==1.8.0.6 however
Cabal-1.8.0.6 was excluded because scion-0.1.0.8 requires Cabal ==1.6.*
I'm not sure what to do now. Trying to install eclipsefp without scion built in case it works, but I'm not used to eclipse, I could use some screenshots to take me step by step through the process. For example, My "project" menu has open grayed, and file/import wants me to choose an import source (I chose Existing project into workspace) but then do I copy projects into workspace ( I did not )
I have eclipse already setup with android development (I have just a toy project, I planned to learn about android programming), when I imported the projects they appeared at the same place. Is there a way not to mix android and haskell projects ? Do I create a new workspace, or assign working sets ?
Anyway the projects are in the workspace, and there's 123 warnings; but I can't really tell if the build failed or not.
Selecting all the project, and right-click - refresh didn't seem to change anything.
But it seems it worked, because step 7 does launch a new eclipse window, and I can see haskell in the preferences. Except that I had an error message regarding scion, and stupid me, clicked ok before I could remember what was written.
I tried rebuild scion, but nothing seemed to happen. I closed the first Eclipse window (the one that has all the eclipsefp projects in the package explorer), but then the second one closed too. I lauched eclipse again, run configurations, etc and this time it looks like scion is building (well something happens in the Console tab)
While this is building, I'm wondering if there's a way to launch eclise directly in the right "mode". Not having to go to run configurations, etc.
Ah, the build failed. Complains that HUnit is missing. So I cabal install it, close my Eclipse window, run configurations again on the first Eclipse window, and the build resumes.
.... And build success. Now to open a haskell source file and play with Eclipse.
