[yocto] Eclipse Yocto Plugin: Preference Profile "Save As..."-Button not working

[Steven Müllener]

Hi Alex
Thanks for the reply.. very kind! I debugged the plugin using the its Eclipse SDK and found that the Pluginis using the sdk's folder's name to determine the host architecture and fails without any warning/hint if the sdk folder can not be found or follows a different naming convention.
So it's working for me now, but an error message should be implemented for sure if the sdk folder is not found or is namd differently.
I could try to propose an improvement and send a pull request but do not have the time right now.
Best regards,
Steven

Here is also the docs I could find regarding eclipse-plugin configuration: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#configuring-the-eclipse-yocto-plug-in
