Installation and configuration of Eclipse (3.4)

After getting SMILA relevant files you have to install and configure Eclipse.

1. Download an eclipse SDK, starting with at least eclipse-SDK-3.4.1-win32.zip.
2. Download eclipse-3.4.1-delta-pack.zip.
3. Unzip the archive and copy org.eclipse.equinox.executable_<version> from features into your features folder under your eclipse installation.
4. Copy all necessary plug-ins (containing linux.x86 or win32.x86) from plugins into your plugins folder under your eclipse installation.
5. Start that Eclipse and set up a custom target platform:

• Unzip SMILA-xxx-.zips:

• Unzip SMILA-incubation-win32.win32.x86.zip into a directory (e.g. E:\ SMILA-incubation-win32.win32.x86). You may download it from SMILA-incubation-win32.win32.x86.zip
• Unzip Smila-test-and-sample.zip into a directory (e.g. E:\Smila-test-and-sample). You may download it from SMILA-test-and-sample.zip

• Copy test specific plug-ins to Smila target platform:

• Copy org.junit_3.8.2xxx from the “plugins” folder of your eclipse installation or copy org.junit_3.8.2.v200706111738 from Smila-test-and-sample folder to your Smila installation (e.g. E:\ SMILA-incubation-win32.win32.x86/plugins).
• Copy org.eclipse.smila.test_0.5.0.jar from Smila-test-and-sample folder to your Smila installation (e.g. E:\ SMILA-incubation-win32.win32.x86/plugins).

• Start eclipse and set the target platform location to this folder (e.g. E:\SMILA-incubation-win32.win32.x86).

Click Window --> Preferences --> Plug-in Development --> Target Platform
