Hi, I am a senior undergraduate student from India. I am interested in "Integration of various source editors in XEclipse" I was trying to set the build environment for XEclipse. should I go by README which say use http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4-200806172000/inde… or I should check latest release http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.2-200902111700/in… Regards, Udai Gupta

The README suggests that the 20080617 version was used and tested during development, but unless there were major incompatible changes, I guess that the latest Eclipse version should also work. But I'm not an XEclipse expert, so don't put much trust in my response. Fabio or Eduard will be able to give you a better answer when they come online. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

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

Eclipse plugin, try right clicking on "org.xwiki.eclipse.ui" or make

sure you have the Eclipse Plug-in Development tools installed (if you did not get a fresh copy of eclipse like in step 2).

Hi Eduard, It means I don't need to follow the procedure of plugin/org/xwiki/eclipse/rcp/README. Thanks, Udai On Sun, Mar 29, 2009 at 11:29 PM, <eduard.moraru(a)xwiki.com> wrote:

I did not understand from your earlier mail that you were asking about the RCP build. During my experience with XEclipse I only developed it as an Eclipse plugin. This the development environment you need if you want to work on XEclipse and it's features. Building and customizing XEclipse to run as a RCP Application is more of a deployment concern rather than a development concern. Back to your question, I can't help you much, but I see no reason why the latest version of the Eclipse SDK would not work. Try it out and, if you can't build a XEclipse with RCP, use the older versions from the rcp project README. "Integration of various source editors in XEclipse" sound to me like you shouldn't need to care about RCP and that all you will need is the development environment I described in my earlier mail. I hope my reply was helpful. Feel free to ask if you have more questions. Good luck! Udai Gupta wrote:

Yes, actually if you want to develop things are easier. As Eduard said, just checkout the 4 projects (org.xwiki.eclipse.core, ...rcp, ...ui, ...xmlrpc) in your workspace and: 1) If you want to run the RCP version, click the org.xwiki.eclipse.rcp project with the second mouse button and choose "Run As > Eclipse Application" (or "Debug As > Eclipse Application" if you want to debug). The RCP standalone version will popup. 2) If you want to run the UI version, click on org.xwiki.eclipse.ui project and choose, again, "Run As > Eclipse Application". A new workbench will start and you will find XEclipse views by choosing the "Window > Show View > Other" menu item. I just tried the previous setup with the latest Eclipse (3.4.2) and everything works fine. Please feel free to ask more questions if you need help. Cheers, Fabio
