Re: [xwiki-devs] [GSoC] Regarding the XEclipse build environment setup

Hello Udai, nice to see you`re interested in XEclipse! Setting up a build environment for XEclipse is very easy. Here's what you should do: 1. Read the README locate at http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xeclipse/trunk/README regarding building/installing XEclipse as an Eclipse plugin with maven. 2. Get a copy of the latest "Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers (xxx MB)" package from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ 3. Create an Eclipse Workspace 4. Import the following projects from the checked-out XEclipse code on your local machine: * org.xwiki.eclipse.core from plugins/org.xwiki.eclipse.core/plugin.xml * org.xwiki.eclipse.ui from plugins/org.xwiki.eclipse.ui/plugin.xml * org.xwiki.eclipse.xmlrpc from plugins/org.xwiki.eclipse.xmlrpc/plugin.xml * org.xwiki.eclipse.feature from features/org.xwiki.eclipse.feature/feature.xml 5. To test-run your local version of XEclipse plugin, right click on the "org.xwiki.eclipse.core" project in your workspace and go to Run As > Eclipse plugin. A new instance of Eclipse will pop up with XEclipse running. 6. To Debug your local version, right click on the "org.xwiki.eclipse.core" project in your workspace and go to Debug As > Eclipse plugin. 7. Happy hacking! P.S.: If right clicking on "org.xwiki.eclipse.core" does not show a Run As sure you have the Eclipse Plug-in Development tools installed (if you did not get a fresh copy of eclipse like in step 2).
