OSGi, language packs, and interval notations…

Dunge: Hello there, sorry for the noob question. I installed Eclipse for Java (Helios) and JDK update 21, I’m trying to use the Blackberry SDK but when I install it it say I require org.eclipse.jdt.debug [3.5.0,3.6.0) first. I tried to find it in “install new software” or on the website, I can’t find anything
rcjsuen: Dunge: That BB plug-in wants Galileo not Helios.
rcjsuen: “require org.eclipse.jdt.debug [3.5.0,3.6.0)”
rcjsuen: Dunge: 3.5.x corresponds to Galileo, 3.6.x corresponds to Helios
Dunge: rcjsuen : you say 3.6.x for Helios, and they actually write 3.6.0 in the required message, so why should I revert to 3.5.0?
rcjsuen: Dunge: You must not have taken Calculus, or forgot about it.
rcjsuen: [x,y) means x inclusive, y exclusive
rcjsuen: i.e. 3.5.0 <= x < 3.6.0
Dunge: should be [x,y[
rcjsuen: Dunge: I’ve never seen that notation. Where do they do that?
Dunge: I just though it was a typo
Dunge: hmm in my math classes? :)
rcjsuen: [x,y[?
Dunge: yeah
rcjsuen: Dunge: And where do you live? That’s what I meant. :)
Dunge: lol
rcjsuen: Dunge: I am interested in where they use this notation, hence I asked.
Dunge: I just asked the guy next to me and he’s saying it should be a [ too
Dunge: I’m in Quebec
rcjsuen: ah
rcjsuen: in the States they used this
rcjsuen: and I went to U Waterloo, we used that there too
Dunge: but I though it was a global notation
rcjsuen: I shall ask other ppl when I get back to Ottawa on Sunday :)
rcjsuen: Maybe that is what they use in France/Europe?
njbartlett: rcjsuen: Possibly France, but certainly not other bits of Europe
rcjsuen: That notation seems to be part of the ISO anyway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-11#Sets
rcjsuen: Very interesting. You learn something new every day as I always say. :)
njbartlett: Indeed, very interesting.
rcjsuen: njbartlett: So I think we need language packs for fr_FR that uses different notation. :)
njbartlett: I’ve given talks about OSGi in lots of countries, almost everywhere there’s at least one or two maths geeks who nods quietly when they see [,)
rcjsuen: hahahaha
