Got the tutorial working, but there are a few errors in it
It's great to see an EAP of MPS and it's with a lot of excitement I'm
starting to play with it!
I did get the tutorial working, but it was a little confusing at times.
I'm sure you know about the superficial problems like that you've used
different versions for different screenshots which makes a few things
look slightly different than in the eap, which can be slightly confusing.
Those are no big deal, but I did get slightly puzzled by one thing: When
creating the main method in the TemplateDeclaration, in the first three
screenshots you're creating a non-static method, but the text says you
should create a static method and the later screenshots show it with a
static method. Now, since it's a main(), I'm sure most people will
realize static is the way to go, even with the first screenshots saying
non-static, but it might puzzle a few.
In the later screenshots (starting with library_models.gif) you also
switch from HelloWorld to hello (I know, just a sample text), and the
TemplateDeclaration text above the class is gone, which didn't happen
for me. These minor things make the tutorial take a little longer to go
through than might be necessary, especially since you want to be very
careful to do exactly like the tutorial, since like with all
ea-software, error messages are not quite complete yet.
Anyway, it will be very fun to follow this thing evolve!

We are going to re-shoot the screenshots soon. You can consider it an
EAP version of the tutorial ;-).
