Building Eclipse Code Recommenders from sources should be pretty easy. If some of the steps below fail - let us know.
Building with Tycho
$ git clone http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/recommenders/org.eclipse.recommenders.git $ cd org.eclipse.recommenders $ mvn clean install
mvn clean install automatically executes the maven builds for Eclipse 4.2 platform. If you want to build Code Recommenders for 3.7 just use
$ mvn clean install -P e3x
Building from Eclipse Workspace
Configuring Eclipse Code Recommenders Workspace for Eclipse is slightly more complicated:
On command line do:
$ git clone http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/recommenders/org.eclipse.recommenders.git $ cd org.eclipse.recommenders $ mvn clean install
This is currently required once to download the models archive for override completion.
Then,
- Import all projects into your Eclipse workspace.
- Set the workspace's target platform.
- Go to etc/targets/
- Open 'e37.target' target definition with target platform editor. For developing for Eclipse 4.2 just use e42.target instead.
- Wait until Eclipse resolved all dependencies. Check the progress view to see when resolving finished.
- Now click on the 'Set as target platform' link on the upper right corner of the editor.
- Wait until workspace is rebuild and all compile errors went away (maybe except from a few projects)
- Done. Start a new Eclipse runtime and trigger code completion on some Eclipse UI classes. The screenshot below gives a feature-based runtime configuration for Eclipse 3.7. Use that as starting point for your own configuration.
