CDO Source Installation new

This tutorial describes how to install the CDO workspace using buckminster.

First step to do is to download and install Eclipse 3.6 from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads (archive)

Now open a fresh development workspace. File:Image:Cdo install1.png


You need to add the following plug-ins from the Helios update site ( http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios)

Note, that as long as helios is not fully released it is recommended to use the staging update site: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios + EMF 2.6 SDK + Buckminster 3.6 Core + Buckminster 3.6 CVS Support + Buckminster 3.6 PDE Support




After you have installed the required plug-ins just create an empty project called "_target"


Now create an empty target platform (Windows->Preferences->Plugin Development->Target Platform)




Switch to the content tab.


Add the directory location $workspace_loc\_target and activate target platform


Activate the platform



Now you need to bootstrap the releng project.

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.emf/org.eclipse.emf.cdo/releng/org.eclipse.emf.cdo.releng/psf/pserver/_bootstrap.psf?root=Modeling_Project&view=co Commiters use: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.emf/org.eclipse.emf.cdo/releng/org.eclipse.emf.cdo.releng/psf/extssh/_bootstrap.psf?root=Modeling_Project&view=co

Right 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!)

To import the sources right-click the local.mspec, select Buckminster|Import...

Go and fetch a coffee, or two, or three... Finally hit the ‘Finish’ button
