CDO Source Installation new
Contents
Introduction
This tutorial describes how to install the CDO workspace using Buckminster.
Preparations
Download and install Eclipse 3.6 from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads
Now open a fresh development workspace.
You need to add the following plug-ins from the Helios p2 repository (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios)
Note, that as long as helios is not fully released it is recommended to use the staging update site: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios Install the following: + EMF 2.6 SDK + Buckminster 3.6 Core + Buckminster 3.6 CVS Support + Buckminster 3.6 PDE Support
After you have installed the required plug-ins just create an empty project called "_target"
Create Target Platform
Now create an empty target platform (Windows->Preferences->Plugin Development->Target Platform)
Switch to the content tab.
Add the directory location $workspace_loc\_target and activate target platform
Activate the platform
Bootstrap the Releng project
Now you need to bootstrap the releng project.
Right click the Package Explorer and choose Imort->Team Project Set. Select the downloaded _bootstrap.psf
Note, if you want to work on CDO 2.0 switch the branch with Team|Switch to "R2_0_maintenance" branch (not tag!)
Import Sources
To import the sources right-click the local.mspec, select Buckminster|Import...
Go and fetch a coffee, or two, or three... Finally hit the 'Finish' button
