documentation: Moved the Eclipse chapter to the YP Dev Manual.
The detailed chapter that describes how to install and configure
the Eclipse Yocto Plug-in has been moved to become a subsection of
the "Workflow" chapter in the YP Development Manual. This commit
accomplished the bulk move, edits to integrate the information,
and fixes to all cross-references. Moving the chapter creates a
sectioning issue in the YP Development manual that results in
subsections that are six levels deep. Not ideal. Will look at
fixing these with a subsequent commit.

| 648 | The Eclipse IDE is a popular development environment and it fully supports | ||
| 649 | development using the Yocto Project. | ||
| 650 | When you install and configure the Eclipse Yocto Project Plug-in into | ||
| 651 | the Eclipse IDE, you maximize your Yocto Project experience. | ||
| 652 | Installing and configuring the Plug-in results in an environment that | ||
| 653 | has extensions specifically designed to let you more easily develop software. | ||
| 654 | These extensions allow for cross-compilation, deployment, and execution of | ||
| 655 | your output into a QEMU emulation session. | ||
| 656 | You can also perform cross-debugging and profiling. | ||
| 657 | The environment also supports a suite of tools that allows you to perform | ||
| 658 | remote profiling, tracing, collection of power data, collection of | ||
| 659 | latency data, and collection of performance data. | ||

| 689 | It is recommended that you have the Indigo 3.7.2 version of the | ||
| 690 | Eclipse IDE installed on your development system. | ||
| 691 | If you don’t have this version, you can find it at | ||
| 692 | <ulink url='&ECLIPSE_MAIN_URL;'></ulink>. | ||
| 693 | From that site, choose the Eclipse Classic version particular to your development | ||
| 694 | host. | ||
| 695 | This version contains the Eclipse Platform, the Java Development | ||
| 696 | Tools (JDT), and the Plug-in Development Environment. | ||

| 700 | Once you have downloaded the tarball, extract it into a clean | ||
| 701 | directory. | ||
| 702 | For example, the following commands unpack and install the Eclipse IDE | ||

| 704 | into a clean directory using the default name <filename>eclipse</filename>: | ||

| 712 | One issue exists that you need to be aware of regarding the Java | ||
| 713 | Virtual machine’s garbage collection (GC) process. | ||
| 714 | The GC process does not clean up the permanent generation | ||
| 715 | space (PermGen). | ||
| 716 | This space stores metadata descriptions of classes. | ||
| 717 | The default value is set too small and it could trigger an | ||
| 718 | out-of-memory error such as the following: | ||
