Setting up an Eclipse IDE

Download and install the latest Eclipse Modeling Tools package.

Getting the source code

Git repository access

The source code of EATOP is managed in a Git repository that can be accessed in one of the following ways:

Read-only access:

• URL: git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/eatop/org.eclipse.eatop.git
• User name: <leave empty>
• Password: <leave empty>

Commiter access:

• URL: ssh://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/eatop/org.eclipse.eatop.git
• User name: <YOUR_USER_NAME>
• Password: <YOUR_PASSWORD>

Cloning and importing the source code with EGit

The recommended way to clone and import the source code of EATOP is to use EGit - the Eclipse Team provider for Git:

• Open the Git Repository Exploring perspective
• Click on the Clone a Git Repository and add the clone to this view button
• Enter the Git repository access data using one of the options indicated above, and then click on Next
• Select the relevant Git repository branches (e.g. master), and then click on Next
• Make sure that Import all existing projects after clone finishes is checked and then click on Finish
• Wait until the cloning process has been completed and go back to the Plug-in Development perspective

Setting the target platform

EATOP provides target platform definitions for the two latest Eclipse releases. These target definitions are in the project org.eclipse.eatop.targets which is part of the Tools working set.

• Open the target definition file xxx.target that corresponds to the Eclipse release you want to work with;
• Wait for the completion of the Resolving Target Definition operation. This may take a while, in particular at the first time, because all directly and indirectly required target platform plug-ins and features are being downloaded or updated as necessary during that operation. If errors occur, try to close and reopen the target definition file so as to re-trigger the target platform resolution;
• Click on link Set as Target Platform (in the upper right corner of the target editor).

Creating an EMF example library model

The example project that is provided with Sphinx makes use of the library model coming from EMF. Thus, we have to get it to be able to compile everything.

Installing EMF SDK

First, we have to install EMF SDK in the Eclipse environment.

• Open menu Help/Install New Software...;
• Select work with Juno;
• Install EMF - Eclipse Modeling Framework SDK in Modeling category.

Creating the library model projects

• Open menu File/New/Example...;
• Select Eclipse Modeling Framework/Extended Library Model Example;
• Finish the creation and wait until the workspace has been rebuilt.
