To ease the development on Papyrus, each member of the team works with basically the same configuration.
 +
There are two ways to get yrou development environement:
 +
* downloading and installing Eclipse
 +
* using the [[Eclipse Installer]] (by Oomph) to manage your Papyrus development workbench.
  
One way to manage this is using the [[Eclipse Installer]] (by Oomph) to manage your Papyrus development workbench.
+
=== Downloading Eclipse ===
 +
You can download a fresh Eclipse Package release on this [https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ page].
 +
We advice you to download the Eclipse Committer version.

When you first launch the Eclipse Installer, it will show the default "simple mode" installer presentation:
+
Follow the following link for a step by step installation guide: [[Papyrus_Developer_Guide/Papyrus_With_Oomph | Oomph setup guide]]
  
[[Image:Papyrus_Oomph_simple.png]]
+
=== Installation details ===
  
You can choose to proceed from here, picking for example the "Eclipse IDE for Committers" package to install, which is the minimal configuration, and later using Oomph to import the Papyrus sources into the workspace (box 1 in the screenshot).  However, you may as well select all of the Papyrus content that you need in your development environment now to set everything up in one go.  To do that, switch to the "advanced mode":  open the dialog tray by clicking on the button (box 2) and select "Advanced Mode..." (box 3).  Now you should see the dialog reconfigured as shown below:
+
Following is a description of the basic configuration:  
  
[[Image:Papyrus_Oomph_page1.png]]
+
*The latest Eclipse release pertinent to your usecases (Modeling, Committer, java, etc)
 +
*the Papyrus release (matching your Eclipse version), installed from the relevant [https://www.eclipse.org/papyrus/download.html#main Papyrus update site]  
 +
** Papyrus SDK
 +
** Papyrus Toolsmiths
 +
** Papyrus Releng Tools
 +
** Papyrus User Examples
  
Again, the simplest option is to start with the "Eclipse IDE for Committers" package because the setup model will add everything else you need for working on Papyrus's various code and models.
+
===Additional useful tools===
 +
*[http://jautodoc.sourceforge.net/ JAutoDoc]
 +
* install the source version of the Papyrus dependencies (EMF, GMF, MWE2, XTEND, XTEXT, UML2, UML2 Extender SDK) (relevant to your usecases)
  
On the second page, pick whatever Papyrus components you need to import into the workspace:
+
=== Java version ===
 
+
OpenJDK 1.8 (or higher) is recommanded.
[[Image:Papyrus_Oomph_page2.png]]
+
 
+
{{note|Minimal Project Selection|Note that, at a minimum, you must select the top-level "Papyrus" project node for import, to get the correct tooling installed for working with the source and to bring the nightly builds into your PDE Target}}.
+
 
+
If you need to work on and test the Papyrus setup model, itself, then you should also import the "Papyrus / Developer / Oomph Setup" project (selected in the screenshot above) to configure the workbench to load the Papyrus setup model from your Git checkout instead of from the central Git repository via HTTP.
+
 
+
Next, tell Oomph where to check out the Papyrus repository, where to install Eclipse, and where to create the workspace:
+
 
+
[[Image:Papyrus_Oomph_page3.png]]
+
 
+
'''Note''' that exactly how this page looks will depend on the options you choose for how to manage installation and workspace locations, and whether you have previously used Oomph to install other Eclipse instances (I have).
+
 
+
'''Note''' also that if you do not see the target platform that you need in the 'Target Platform' pick-list (for example, Neon to start working on the Papyrus Neon branch that is the master at the time of this writing), then you can just type the name into the field.
+
 
+
The last page summarizes the steps that Oomph will follow to start the installation:
+
 
+
[[Image:Papyrus_Oomph_page4.png]]
+
 
+
After the newly installed Eclipse instance starts up, it will complete the setup by performing the rest of the tasks that have to be done in the workspace that didn't exist initially.  These include the git checkout, importing projects from the checkout into the workspace, creating working sets, Mylyn queries, and more.  Once these steps have completed, you will be ready to start working on the Papyrus code.
+
 
+
If you used Oomph's "simple mode" to create your Eclipse workspace, or if you need to make changes to what Papyrus bits you have imported (even for setting up the set-up model redirection), you can do this at any time by launching the Oomph installer wizard from within the Eclipse workbench.  '''Note''' that you will first have to make the Oomph setup actions available in the toolbar be enabling the preference:
+
 
+
[[Image:Papyrus_Oomph_updater.png]]
+
 
+
This launches essentially the same wizard as the "advanced mode" of the Oomph Installer.
+
 
+

There are two way to manage your code version:
 +
*define yourself the API baseline for Papyrus using [https://help.eclipse.org/2020-06/index.jsp?nav=%2F4_2_3 Eclipse Preference API Baseline]
 +
*Oomph includes a way to manage the version changes between two releases as illustrated [[Papyrus_Developer_Guide/Oomph_Version_Management |here]]
  
As of late February 2016 in the Neon development cycle, the Papyrus Main plug-ins and features and the Developer Tools are configured for PDE API Tooling and Oomph Version Management validation.  One of the value-added capabilities of Oomph is flagging plug-ins and features that aren't included in any other feature, and thus appear to be slipping through a crack in the release.  This only works when the workspace has all of the plug-in and feature projects of Papyrus imported.
+
*API Rules:
 +
**[[Evolving_Java-based_APIs]]
 +
**[[Evolving_Java-based_APIs_2]]
 +
**[[Evolving_Java-based_APIs_3]]
  
If your workspace only has a subset of the Papyrus projects imported, then you can tell Oomph that this check is not appropriate by configuring the "check mode" in the Preferences:
+
=== Apply Papyrus configuration files  ===

Papyrus provides configuration files for Template, CleanUp, and Format for java code.
 +
Register these files into your Eclipse Preferences.

[[FAQ How can templates make me the fastest coder ever?|FAQ How can templates make me the fastest coder ever]]
  
The Hudson builds are currently implemented with Maven, using Tycho to build Eclipse-compatible artifacts. Therefore, all active plug-in and feature projects have Maven POM files describing them. There is a proposal under consideration to implement Maven Nature provided by M2Eclipse in the Papyrus source projects, to more closely align the Hudson build environment with the developer's local build environment in the Eclipse workbench.

=== Gerrit Contributions  ===
  
The Git repository of Papyrus contains many different branches and you must select at least one. Select the branch “streams/1.1-maintenance” if you want to fix code bugs in the Mars version of the Papyrus plugins or “master” if you want to contribute with new features to the latest version of Papyrus called Neon. Click “Next” and select the storage location (e.g., “C:\git”) and the name of the initial branch (e.g., “streams/1.1-maintenance”).

Development Environment

To ease the development on Papyrus, each member of the team works with basically the same configuration. There are two ways to get yrou development environement:

  • downloading and installing Eclipse
  • using the Eclipse Installer (by Oomph) to manage your Papyrus development workbench.

Downloading Eclipse

You can download a fresh Eclipse Package release on this page. We advice you to download the Eclipse Committer version.

Papyrus Oomph Setup Model

The Eclipse Installer provides a set-up model for Papyrus, making it easier than ever to get a complete Eclipse workbench up and running for development on the Papyrus source code. Just download the Oomph Installer from the linked wiki page and follow the simple wizard to create your IDE and import the Papyrus source projects that you want to work on.

Pick any product you like on the first page, but be sure it's the latest release of that product for the Papyrus stream you're working on. For example, if you're working on the Luna service stream of Papyrus, you need the Luna release of Eclipse. On the second page, expand Eclipse.org / Papyrus to see the various components that you can import to work on. Pick any combination of the leaf-level sub-(sub-)projects, even all of them if you like. In the third page where you specify variables such as install location, workspace location, git clone, etc. be sure to choose "Luna" for the Target Platform. This ensures that you will be set up to work on Papyrus Luna (SR1), which is the only development stream currently supported by the setup model (until Mars development gets under way).

Contributing your changes is easy because Oomph will clone the Papyrus Git repository for you and configure Gerrit push.

Amongst possibly other details, the setup model configures:

  • your IDE with all of the tools needed to edit and build the source projects you choose
  • your workspace with a Git clone and the source projects imported from it that you choose
  • a PDE target that includes all of the dependencies required by Papyrus plus the latest nightly build of Papyrus, itself, so that you can import only a subset of the (many) source projects but still run the complete Papyrus toolset in a run-time workbench
  • Mylyn queries for current open bugs and enhancements in the Papyrus bugzilla database
  • Mylyn queries for the status of the latest Papyrus automated builds, including tests
  • Mylyn queries for open Gerrit reviews
  • preferences enforcing the Papyrus standard compiler and code formatter/template settings

Please raise bugs if you see any problems in the setup configuration.

Cloning the Git repository and importing the code

The Papyrus code and some documents are located in a Git repository. In the website http://git.eclipse.org/c/papyrus/org.eclipse.papyrus.git you will find the most recent activity information of the repository and, at the bottom of the page, you will find the URIs of the Git repository (e.g., http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/papyrus/org.eclipse.papyrus.git).
