Setting Up Corona Development Environment

Corona's development environment is based upon the Eclipse PDE/IDE. All of Corona's server-side components are either OSGi Bundles or Eclipse Plug-ins.

Note
  • It is assumed the you are familiar with Eclipse IDE, Subversion, etc...
  • The following steps should be performed in a new workspace


Step 1: Setup Eclipse PDE/IDE

Step 1.1: Download IDE

If you do not already have an Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers installed, download and install the following:

Step 1.2: Install Subversive

The Eclipse Subversive plug-ins for SVN are not installed in the RCP/Plug-in distribution. However, they are provided via the Galileo update site. These plug-ins must be installed so that you can interact with Corona's SVN repository.

  • Select Help -> Install New Software...
  • Select the Available Software tab
  • In Work with field, select Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo
  • Expand the Collaboration entry
  • Select the 2 SVN components to install
    • Subversion SVN Integration for the Mylyn Project
    • SVN Team Provider
  • Click Next
  • Click Next
  • Accept the License (Click Finish)
  • After the installation has been completed, Restart Eclipse

Step 1.3: Install Subversive Connectors

In order for Subversive plug-in to work, Subversive SVN Connector is necessary. They are provided by Polarion update site.

Step 2: Setup Subversion

Step 2.1: Setup the appropriate SVN Connector

  • Select Window -> Preferences
  • Expand Team
  • Select SVN
  • Select SVN Connector tab
  • In the SVN Connector field, select Native JavaHL
  • Click Ok

Step 2.2: Repository setup

Step 3: Check-out Team Artifacts

Corona provides team artifacts to help team member participate in the community. Some of these artifacts are used to setup the workspace used for Corona development

  • Switch to the SVN Repository perspective
  • Expand the entry for Corona's SVN repository
  • Expand the entry for trunk
  • Check-out team.corona folder

Step 4: Download Target Platform Runtime

Corona uses the target platform capability of the IDE. This allows the IDE to simulate the platform where the plug-ins under development will eventually be deployed.

The target platform is default set of Equinox, Eclipse Core, and 3rd party libraries used in a server-side environment. This environment is setup using an Ant script within the team's artifacts.

The following steps are performed within the Plug-in Development perspective.

Step 4.1: Proxy setup

It is common for Corona developers to work behind a firewall. For Corona to be able to properly setup its target platform, it needs to be able to download plug-ins from external repositories.

  • Edit the Ant script team.corona/runtime/buildTargetRuntime.xml
  • Find the Ant target init
  • If needed, update (and comment out) the arguments for <setproxy .../>

Step 4.2: Initialize target.platform Runtime

  • Run the Ant script team.corona/runtime/buildTargetRuntime.xml
  • Refresh your workspace so it is aware of the files added to the target platform

Step 5: Define Workspace Target Platform

Each Plug-in Development Workspace can be configured for a specific target platform.

  • Open the team.corona/runtime/CoronaDevelopmentRuntime.target file
  • In Location, remove the two items:
  • Click Add
  • Select Directory and click Next
  • In Location browse to team.corona\runtime\generated\corona\eclipse
  • Click Finish
  • Click on Set as Target Platform link on the Top Right corner.
  • Save the file and close it.

Step 6: Check-out Corona Sources

  • Within the Package Explorer view, expand the team.corona entry
  • Expand the project.sets folder
  • Open corona-all.psf
  • If you are a Committer, leave it as is (using svn+ssh)
  • If you are a Contributor, replace every svn+ssh by http
  • Right-mouse-click on the file (Package Explorer)
  • Select Import Project Set
  • Clean (Build) the project
Note
Corona's team project set also defines working sets to help organize Corona's plug-ins within your development workspace.
