CDO Source Installation (CVS, deprecated)
Contents
Introduction
This tutorial describes how to install the CDO workspace using Buckminster. It replaces the old tutorial which can be found here.
Prepare the IDE
Download and install Eclipse 3.6 from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads
Then open a fresh development workspace.
Add the following plug-ins from the Helios p2 repository (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios)
Install the following:
- EMF 2.6 SDK
- Buckminster 3.6 Core
- Buckminster 3.6 CVS Support
- Buckminster 3.6 PDE Support
Now you have prepared your IDE with the required tools.
Create the Target Platform
For the target platfrom first create an empty project called "_target".
Now create an empty target definition that Buckminster later can fill with the needed plug-ins (Windows->Preferences->Plugin Development->Target Platform)
Insert the name for the target platform.
Click 'Add'.
Add the directory location ${workspace_loc}/_target.
Activate the platform.
Bootstrap the Releng Project
Now you need to bootstrap the releng project.
Right click the Package Explorer and choose Imort->Team Project Set. Select the downloaded _bootstrap.psf
Note, if you want to work on CDO 2.0 switch the branch with Team|Switch to "R2_0_maintenance" branch (not tag!)
Materialize the Sources and the Target Platform
To materialize the sources right-click the local.mspec, select Buckminster|Import...
While the following dialog is running go and fetch a coffee, or two, or three...
Finally hit the 'Finish' button
Updating the Workspace
You can update your development workspace with re-importing the local.mpec as described above. Then the whole workspace and the target platform are updated.
