Development Environment

• Corona is based upon Eclipse v3.2 (or later).
• All bundles and plugins should be compiled for JDK 1.5

IDE Setup

The Eclipse Workbench IDE should include the following:

• Eclipse SDK v3.2
• Web Tools Platform v1.5
• ECF v0.9.1
• EMF v2.2
• org.eclipse.equinox.event
• org.eclipse.equinox.http
• org.eclipse.equinox.log

CVS Structure

The name of Corona's CVS's repository is org.eclipse.corona. This location contains all of Corona's artifacts. The structure for Corona's CVS repository is:

org.eclipse.corona
+---build
+---doc
+---examples
+---features
+---maps
+---plugins
|   +---org.eclipse.corona
|   +---org.eclipse.corona.collaboration
|   +---org.eclipse.corona.collaboration.project
|   +---...
+---tests

IDE Projects

The root of Corona's CVS repository is not an Eclipse Workbench IDE project. IDE project's can be checked-out from CVS. Each folder under the CVS plugins folder corresponds to an IDE project.

Eclipse config.ini file

For proper corona startup you'll have to modify your eclipse config.ini file. The file is located in following directory <eclipse>/configuration/config.ini. You need to modify the osgi.bundles section, which indicates which bundle and when should be started.
Currently we're using following configuration:

osgi.bundles=org.eclipse.equinox.common@2:start, org.eclipse.osgi.services@2:start, \
org.eclipse.equinox.log@3:start, org.eclipse.corona.logger.log4j@4:start, \
org.eclipse.update.configurator@3:start, org.eclipse.core.runtime@start, \
org.eclipse.equinox.event@start, org.eclipse.equinox.http@start

Stub Projects

Corona contains several "Stub" projects.
Those projects contain libraries which are still waiting for eclipse IP approval, hence cannot be found in our CVS repository.
Below you can find a list of stub projects and where you can find required libraries:

  Project requires following libraries:

  • muse-osgi-soa-core-2.0.0.jar

ECF Server Configuration

For proper debugging you'll have to modify org.eclipse.ecf.server_0.9.1 plug-in. In directory org.eclipse.ecf.server_0.9.1/conf you can find server.xml file. Please change it's content as follows:

<server>
  <connector protocol="ecftcp"  hostname="localhost" port="3282" timeout="30000">
    <group name="server"/>
    <group name="corona"/>
  </connector>
</server>

Projects Javadoc Configuration

Default javadoc configuration ( Window -> Preferences... -> Java -> Compiler -> Javadoc ) for all Corona projects should look as follows:
