Gyrex/Preparing Your Workspace For Developing Gyrex

< Gyrex
Revision as of 06:48, 10 January 2012 by Unnamed Poltroon (Talk) (→‎Set Target Platform)

Here's how to set up your workspace for developing Gyrex.

Setup Eclipse

Download and install any Eclipse distribution suitable for developing Eclipse plug-ins. We recommend trying the latest Eclipse milestone for access to the latest features in JDT and PDE.

Required Plug-ins

  • Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment
  • Eclipse CVS Client
  • Eclipse Git Client

Required JDK

  • Download and install your preferred Java 6 JDK
  • Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs -> Add... -> Standard VM -> Next
  • Set JRE home to the Java 6 JDK folder -> Finish
  • Activate check-box to set Java 6 JDK as the default JDK in Eclipse


Import Projects

We provide Team Project Sets that you can use to import our projects into any Eclipse workspace.

  • Download the Gyrex team project set file
  • In Eclipse go to File -> Import... -> Team -> Team Project Set -> Next
  • Click Browse... and select the downloaded file
  • Click Finish and confirm creation of repositories and any merge request with existing working sets


Setup Target Platform

We maintain a shared target platform. It's located in the "org.eclipse.gyrex.releng" project in the target folder.

  • Locate org.eclipse.gyrex.releng/target
  • Open file gyrex-dev.target in Target Definition editor
  • Wait till the target platform is resolved
  • Click on link "Set as Target Platform" (located in the upper right corner of the Target Definition editor)

Import Code Settings

Optimize Project Browsing

  • Switch to the Java perspective
  • Open the Package Explorer view menu (little triangle icon in the upper right corner) and select "Top Level Elements -> Working Sets"
  • Select all working sets ("Select All")
  • We recommend sorting the working sets (check "Sort working sets")
  • We also recommend hierarchical package browsing (open the Package Explorer view menu and this time select "Package Presentation -> Hierarchical")
