==== Preconditions  ====
  
* ref: [[SMILA/Development Guidelines|Development Guidelines]]
+
Here is the list of things that you will definitely need for developing SMILA components:  
* https://svn.brox.de/svn/eccenca/EILF/trunk/SMILA.builder/
+
* eclipse 3.3
+
*:  plugins needed:
+
*: - extension location to WC \EILF.extension
+
  
=== how to build and test locally ===
+
* JDK 1.7
* set up an own Eclipse instance/installation for building
+
* Recent Eclipse SDK - This HowTo was tested with [http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.2-201206081400/ Eclipse Classic SDK 4.2] (Juno Release) <br>
** - eg. eclipse-SDK-3.3-win32
+
** - copy startup.jar[http://bugs.brox.de/confluence/download/attachments/11075968/startup.jar] from an older eclipse installation (< 3.3) into it's root
+
** - check is Native Launcher feature (see [http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/framework/]: "org.eclipse.equinox.executable") installed, if not, and add it with dependent plug-ins
+
** start that eclipse add sole extension location to WC /EILF.extension by
+
*** menue help - Software Updates - Manage configuration
+
*** add extension location and choose the folder EILF.extension/eclipse from smila project folder
+
* EILF.builder
+
*: this is used to build and run all tests but before local usage it must be adapted.
+
** build smila in eClipse
+
*** select the EILF.builder bundle
+
*** open External Tools Dialog
+
*** create a new ant build configuration or choose your configuration if exists
+
*** choose the buildfile of this bundle, e. g. ${workspace_loc:/EILF.builder/make.xml}
+
*** insert the following arguments (but change this to your folder structure)
+
***: -DbuildDirectory=D:/eccenca/eilf/eclipse.build
+
***: -Declipse.home=D:/eclipse33
+
***: -Dbuilder=D:/eccenca/eilf/eilf.builder
+
***: -Declipse.running=true
+
***: -Dos=win32 -Dws=win32 -Darch=x86
+
*** Apply, close and run EILF.builder with this external tool configuration
+
** variante with EILF.builder\make.bat
+
**: the make.bat is used by bamboo so dont update it unless u know what u are doing!
+
**:there is a template version of this with the ending .#~#~#. copy that over the make.bat or use another name to ur linking.
+
*** adjust all paths in \EILF.builder\make.bat according to own setup
+
** - execute make.bat
+
  
*the whole process takes about 15 minutes at the time of writing, so be patient or get some java-like beverage
+
==== Getting the source code ====
  
=== run junit tests for osgi bundles ===
+
There is more than one way of getting the code into your Eclipse workspace. The following sections will describe how to get the source code via SVN (recommended!).
* Plugin Junit Launch config
+
 
* write config.ini and ref it from lauch config.
+
As an alternative, you could download the complete source code from the [http://www.eclipse.org/smila/downloads.php release download page] or the [http://build.eclipse.org/rt/smila/nightly/ nightly build downloads] and unpack the archive into your workspace.
*:tip: use \ to brake up long lines to have better overview
+
 
* share the launch config
+
===== Installing SVN Provider =====
For further information see: [[SMILA/Development Guidelines|Development Guidelines]]
+
''(skip this section if SVN Team Provider is already installed in your eclipse IDE)''
 +
 
 +
* Install ''Subversive SVN Team Provider'' and ''Subversive SVN JDT Ignore Extensions'' from the Eclipse software repository.<br>
 +
* Restart Eclipse.  
 +
* Select ''Windows &gt; Preferences &gt; Team &gt; SVN''. This should open the ''Subversive Connector Discovery'' window.
 +
* Select the Subversive SVN Connector that you wish to use. We suggest to take the latest SVN Kit that is offered. At the time of writing it was SVN Kit 1.3.5.
 +
 
 +
===== Get source code from SVN =====
 +
 
 +
There are two ways for this, automatically by using the ''Project Set File'' or manually. Both are described in the following:
 +
 
 +
''Manually checking out and importing the projects into eclipse afterwards:''
 +
* Use your favorite SVN client (''except the eclipse SVN client'') to check out SMILA's source code from the repository located at:<br> <tt>https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila/trunk/core</tt>. If you later want to be able to build a SMILA distribution, all SMILA projects should be located in the same directory.
 +
:: <pre>svn co https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila/trunk/core</pre>
 +
::'''Note:''' ''The upside of doing so is that you can easily get new projects just by updating your working copy and reimporting the sources into eclipse. Removed projects will be deleted on update. Eclipse will indicate this to the user by displaying an empty project.''
 +
* Import all SMILA project into your workspace:
 +
** Click ''File'' &gt; ''Import'' &gt; ''General'' &gt; ''Existing Projects into Workspace'' &gt; ''Next.''
 +
** Select the folder that contains all SMILA projects --&gt; (all projects should be selected automatically) &gt; ''Finish''.
 +
 
 +
''Automatic checkout and import by using the Project Set File:''
 +
* In eclipse, create an SVN repository location with URL <tt>https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila</tt>
 +
* Checkout <tt>trunk/releng</tt>
 +
* Right click on <tt>SMILA.releng/devenv.SMILA-core.psf</tt>
 +
* Click ''Import Project Set...'' and choose "No To All"
 +
::'''Hint:''': ''New projects should always be added to the .psf file so you can import them (as before): right click on .psf file and click on "Import Project Set...", be sure to click "No To All" to the question whether to overwrite existing projects in the workspace, otherwise it will check out everything again instead of ignoring the projects, that are already checked out. If projects are removed you have to remove them manually from the workspace, this can't be handled via .psf file.''
 +
 
 +
After having imported the source code into your workspace, it will show up a lot of errors. Don't worry, they'll disappear after the next steps below.
 +
 
 +
==== Defining the target platform  ====
 +
 
 +
The target platform defines the set of bundles and features that you are developing against. SMILA ships a ''Target Definition File'' that you can open in your IDE to configure the target platform automatically. This file contains all the references needed for developing SMILA with Eclipse Juno (Release 4.2).
 +
 
 +
===== Using the target platform provided by SMILA =====
 +
 
 +
* Checkout <tt>../org.eclipse.smila/trunk/releng</tt>  (''if you haven't already done before'')
 +
* Open the file <tt>SMILA.releng/devenv/SMILA.target</tt> with the ''Target Definition'' editor. <br>Eclipse starts downloading the referenced bundles/features which it tells you by stating "Resolving Target Definition" in its status bar. Be patient, this will take quite a while. After it has finished, you can click the link "Set as Target Platform" on the top right of the ''Target Definition'' editor. Doing so will cause Eclipse to start re-compiling the sources and all error markers should be gone when finished.
 +
 
 +
===== Defining the target platform manually  =====
 +
 
 +
* Instead of using the target definition file provided by SMILA (see above) you can also [[SMILA/Development Guidelines/Howto set up target platform|manually set your own target platform]].
 +
 
 +
==== Launching SMILA in Eclipse IDE  ====
 +
 
 +
If you've checked out SMILA's trunk correctly, you should have a project called '''SMILA.launch''' in your workspace. This project contains the SMILA's launch configuration for Eclipse IDE. To start SMILA directly in your Eclipse IDE, just follow the steps below:
 +
 
 +
* Click <span style="font-style: italic;">Run</span>--&gt; ''Debug Configurations'' and expand '''''OSGI Framework'''''<b>.</b>
 +
* Select the ''SMILA'' launch file.
 +
* Click '''Debug'''. <br> If everything works fine, you will get an output in the '''Console''' view similar to the following:
 +
 
 +
<source lang="text">
 +
osgi> Persistence bundle starting...
 +
ProviderTracker: New service detected...
 +

 +
[INFO ] Added worker webFetcher to WorkerManager.
 +
...
 +
[INFO ] HTTP server has SMILA handler RequestDispatcher for context /smila.
 +
[INFO ] HTTP server started successfully on port 8080.
 +
</source>
 +
 
 +
==== You're done  ====
 +
 
 +
Congratulations! You've just successfully checked out and configured your SMILA development environment and you can now start [[SMILA/Development Guidelines/Create a bundle (plug-in)|developing your own bundles]].
 +
 
 +
==== Additional steps ====
 +
 
 +
The following steps may be needed for special purposes. If you are a SMILA user who only wants to integrate an own component you won't need them. 
 +
 
 +
===== Delta Pack =====
 +
''(only needed for building the software outside of eclipse IDE)''
 +
 
 +
For building the software you may need to add a "Delta Pack" to an Eclipse SDK installation. You can download it from [http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ here] by selecting the corresponding eclipse version that you have in use. After downloading, you can copy the contained plugins and features in your eclipse installation.
 +
 
 +
===== Checkstyle configuration =====
 +
 
 +
If you have the [http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/ Eclipse Checkstyle plugin] installed, you will get a lot of error messages complaining about missing check configurations when Eclipse builds the workspace.
 +
 
 +
<source lang="text">
 +
Errors running builder 'Checkstyle Builder' on project 'org.eclipse.smila.utils'.
 +

This HowTo describes the necessary steps for setting up a SMILA development environment.

Preconditions

Here is the list of things that you will definitely need for developing SMILA components:

Getting the source code

There is more than one way of getting the code into your Eclipse workspace. The following sections will describe how to get the source code via SVN (recommended!).

As an alternative, you could download the complete source code from the release download page or the nightly build downloads and unpack the archive into your workspace.

Installing SVN Provider

(skip this section if SVN Team Provider is already installed in your eclipse IDE)

  • Install Subversive SVN Team Provider and Subversive SVN JDT Ignore Extensions from the Eclipse software repository.
  • Restart Eclipse.
  • Select Windows > Preferences > Team > SVN. This should open the Subversive Connector Discovery window.
  • Select the Subversive SVN Connector that you wish to use. We suggest to take the latest SVN Kit that is offered. At the time of writing it was SVN Kit 1.3.5.
Get source code from SVN

There are two ways for this, automatically by using the Project Set File or manually. Both are described in the following:

Manually checking out and importing the projects into eclipse afterwards:

svn co https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila/trunk/core
Note: The upside of doing so is that you can easily get new projects just by updating your working copy and reimporting the sources into eclipse. Removed projects will be deleted on update. Eclipse will indicate this to the user by displaying an empty project.
  • Import all SMILA project into your workspace:
    • Click File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace > Next.
    • Select the folder that contains all SMILA projects --> (all projects should be selected automatically) > Finish.

Automatic checkout and import by using the Project Set File:

Hint:: New projects should always be added to the .psf file so you can import them (as before): right click on .psf file and click on "Import Project Set...", be sure to click "No To All" to the question whether to overwrite existing projects in the workspace, otherwise it will check out everything again instead of ignoring the projects, that are already checked out. If projects are removed you have to remove them manually from the workspace, this can't be handled via .psf file.

After having imported the source code into your workspace, it will show up a lot of errors. Don't worry, they'll disappear after the next steps below.

Defining the target platform

The target platform defines the set of bundles and features that you are developing against. SMILA ships a Target Definition File that you can open in your IDE to configure the target platform automatically. This file contains all the references needed for developing SMILA with Eclipse Juno (Release 4.2).

Using the target platform provided by SMILA
  • Checkout ../org.eclipse.smila/trunk/releng (if you haven't already done before)
  • Open the file SMILA.releng/devenv/SMILA.target with the Target Definition editor.
    Eclipse starts downloading the referenced bundles/features which it tells you by stating "Resolving Target Definition" in its status bar. Be patient, this will take quite a while. After it has finished, you can click the link "Set as Target Platform" on the top right of the Target Definition editor. Doing so will cause Eclipse to start re-compiling the sources and all error markers should be gone when finished.
Defining the target platform manually

Launching SMILA in Eclipse IDE

If you've checked out SMILA's trunk correctly, you should have a project called SMILA.launch in your workspace. This project contains the SMILA's launch configuration for Eclipse IDE. To start SMILA directly in your Eclipse IDE, just follow the steps below:

  • Click Run--> Debug Configurations and expand OSGI Framework.
  • Select the SMILA launch file.
  • Click Debug.
    If everything works fine, you will get an output in the Console view similar to the following:
osgi> Persistence bundle starting...
ProviderTracker: New service detected...
ProviderTracker: Added service org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.osgi.PersistenceProviderOSGi
Persistence bundle started.
[INFO ] Context /zookeeper: Registered handler(1) ZooKeeperAdminHandler, pattern /(.*)$
[INFO ] Added worker webFetcher to WorkerManager.
...
[INFO ] HTTP server has SMILA handler RequestDispatcher for context /smila.
[INFO ] HTTP server started successfully on port 8080.

You're done

Congratulations! You've just successfully checked out and configured your SMILA development environment and you can now start developing your own bundles.

Additional steps

The following steps may be needed for special purposes. If you are a SMILA user who only wants to integrate an own component you won't need them.

Delta Pack

(only needed for building the software outside of eclipse IDE)

For building the software you may need to add a "Delta Pack" to an Eclipse SDK installation. You can download it from here by selecting the corresponding eclipse version that you have in use. After downloading, you can copy the contained plugins and features in your eclipse installation.

Checkstyle configuration

If you have the Eclipse Checkstyle plugin installed, you will get a lot of error messages complaining about missing check configurations when Eclipse builds the workspace.

Errors running builder 'Checkstyle Builder' on project 'org.eclipse.smila.utils'.
Fileset from project "org.eclipse.smila.utils" has no valid check configuration.
...

You can solve this by setup your Checkstyle configuration.

Enabling the BPEL Designer

If you want to work with the SMILA extensions for Eclipse BPEL designer, you need to check out the bundles from trunk/tooling. Currently, the required bundles are:

  • org.eclipse.smila.processing.designer.model
  • org.eclipse.smila.processing.designer.ui

To compile them you need additional bundles from the Eclipse BPEL Designer in your target platform. See SMILA/BPEL Designer for more information.
