From b742716bc2bf8d9f1d3425c0c6033e67bf8763e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:05:44 -0700 Subject: documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-model.xml: Edits for Eclipse insertion In preparation for taking the Eclipse installation and configuration steps, I have made an edit pass through the section "Workflow Using the ADT and Eclipse". Minor edits performed to integrate the new information.
