VJET/Building from Source

Please Note: Some software installation requires specific versions. For example, Maven 3 and JDK 1.6 are required. If you want to build from Eclipse, an Eclipse version with PDE support is required.

Git Client Setup

[http://help.github.com/set-up-git-redirect/]

VJET source code

Clone one of the VJET repos. The main vjet repo is 

http://git.eclipse.org/c/vjet/org.eclipse.vjet.all.git/

git clone --recursive git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/vjet/org.eclipse.vjet.all.git

Maven Setup

1. Install maven 3: [http://maven.apache.org/download.html]
2. Setup Environment Variables:

on mac:

 export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024m

on windows:

PATH=[maven 3 location];%PATH%
MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx1024m
JAVA_HOME=[JDK 1.6 location]

3. Install the Maven settings.xml file in your local Maven repository:

Build VJET from Command Line

Navigate to the root directory of your git VJET clone, then execute the maven command:

mvn clean install

After a successful build, you can find the generated VJET update site at:

# on build server with profile build-server you will see repo here
{git_clone_root}/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.vjet.all.repo/target/signed/site_assembly.zip
 
# on local build you will see unsigned jars here
{git_clone_root}/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.vjet.all.repo/target/org.eclipse.vjet.all.repo-${project.version}.zip

Build VJET from Eclipse

1. Install an Eclipse version (3.8.x and above) with PDE support: [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/]

2. Install m2eclipse from update site: [http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e]

3. Install egit plugins, find update site from [http://www.eclipse.org/egit/]

4. Start a new Eclipse workspace, setup target environment to include VJET build dependent plugins:

  install nightly build as baseline http://eclipse.org/vjet/downloads

5. Import Projects

a) You can import all VJET projects by just selecting the root directory of the git repo Import -> Team -> Team Project Set, browse to your GIT Clone VJET root, select VjetProjectSet.psf and Finish.

b) Or, you can import a subset of VJET projects from Git Cloned VJET subdirectories: Import -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace, browse to your Git cloned VJET subdirectory, such as extmod, core, eclipse, or their subdirectories.
