Using EPUB files

You can open EPUB files in Firefox using the EPUBReader add-on, or using Adobe Digital Editions.

Trouble with PDF files?

Acrobat Reader 6.0 has a couple of issues and may display errors when opening or scrolling through one of our PDF files. We recommend using Adobe Reader 7.0, kpdf (Linux), or Preview (Mac OS X).

Installing the Eclipse documentation plugin

You can install the Eclipse documentation plugin by extracting the Eclipse package and dropping the directory into your Eclipse plugins directory.
