Known Problems and Limitations
Unable to resolve plugin
Due to the replacement of various plugins using an existing eclipse workspace can cause errors in deleted plugins if related views were previously opened.
For example if the KIELER Compiler Selection view was opened in the workspace of the previous version, then this view will have a red square as icon and the error log will show an entry: Unable to resolve plug-in "platform:/plugin/de.cau.cs.kieler.kico.ui/icons/KiCoViewIcon.png". This problem can easily be solved by closing the no longer available view. In this example the new KIELER Compiler view should be opened, which replaces the functionality of the old view.
