Looks like it can't read $ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.epic.ext.cbg.editor_0.3.3/modes/catalog
for some reason (and does not report the problem properly). Find out why,
try EPIC 0.3.12 (testing) if you haven't already, or try the CVS version
(it does not have this problem).

I downloaded the projects from CVS and started building the plugins (following
directions from http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3398393
)

However, one project will not build :( org.epic.perleditor

The main error is:
The import org.epic.core.parser.PerlTokenTypes cannot be resolved	TasksReconciler.java
org.epic.perleditor/src/org/epic/perleditor/editors	line 13

Thanks for all your help!

These directions are slightly outdated. You also need to install the ANTLR
plug-in for Eclipse:

http://antlreclipse.sourceforge.net

Then do Project/Clean... on the org.epic.perleditor project and rebuild.
The missing *.java files will be generated from the *.g files by the ANTLR
plug-in (and automatically compiled next).

This helped solve some of the issues, so I am posting it in case other people
run into the same problems.  Thanks :)

This is caused by the missing ANTLR plug-in, see my SF reply.

You may need to enable Java 1.4 so that the "assert" keyword
does not cause syntax errors. Either in project properties
("Java Compiler", JDK Compliance) or in general preferences
("Java/Compiler").
