System Workbench for STM32

Hello,

Indeed. Installation was corrupted. I downloaded the installer and at first setup attempt I had that error "java 1.74 required".
No other versions of Eclipse were ever installed on my computer.
I deinstalled whatever java I had, installed Java 8. Again after setup, system workbench complained one more time about that old java version requirement but - strange - it decided to continue. Two days I looked at it like a monkey looks at a flying saucer: missing menus. missing buttons, missing GUI functions, project import wizard does not show the same menus as on the web site description I provided in the previous post.

I deinstalled both java and system workbench, I manually deleted everything related from both hard drive and registry.
Reinstalled java 8, installed system workbench, now it works.
Those missing menus I mentioned - they are on the screen and work perfectly.

Still - there are a few things related to programming. Arduino IDE is a little more specific on their tutorials, examples and instructions section:
- how to handle a physical port;
- how to handle a GPIO pin;
- how to define a gpio pin as input/output;
and so on.
They even provide simple drawings describing common tasks and the related software example.

Here it is assumed that the user already has strong experience with STM32 and already knows what to do.

I would like to ask if there is any tutorial about how to define a group of GPIOs as standard old ports no longer in use today: parallel port, IDE, SCSI, ISA 8bit, ISA 16bit. Still searching.
