HOWTO: Shared Code Plugin

Revision as of 15:28, 7 July 2006 by Mayworm.gmail.com (Talk | contribs) (Step 4)

Installation and Running of the SCP

This is a description of how to install and run the Shared Code plug'in. It should guide you to having a working SCP demo in minutes.

Steps

Step 0

Prerequisites:

  • Eclipse 3.1 or higher
  • ECF 0.8 or higher

After installing Eclipse and ECF, verify that they are all available in your Eclipse environment.

Step 1

Starting ECF Local Server.

  1. Start a shell.
  2. CD to the Eclipse features directory.
  3. CD to org.eclipse.ecf.serverfeature_X.X.X\bin directory (X.X.X is the ecf version number).
  4. Run startserver.sh for OS X/Linux
  5. The default settings are fine for now.

Step 2

  1. For this demo, it's necessary to use two or more Eclipse instances. I will use only two Eclipse instance(Itacare and Trancoso).
  2. Make sure to use different workspaces, because this demo is on the same machine.
  • Click on the Run->Run, change the launcher name to "Itacare"

  • Click on the Run->Run, change the launcher name to "Trancoso"

  • Adjust workspace data as necessary. You need to setup different "Location" to each Eclipse instance, and each instance needs to point to the same ECF server.

Step 3

Connect SCP to ECF Local Server

  • In the Itacare launched workbench, click on the IconeTransp.gif in toolbar

Step 4

Searching for Java files on Itacare

  • Click on Eclipse search EclipseSearch.png in the Trancoso instance
  • Type yours criterias

  • If it matches on the search term, it sends the match to Trancoso instance and shows the result in the Share Code view.
