Eclipse Plugin for Codenvy

Description

This project aims to provide an Eclipse plugin to give the ability to developers to work either on Codenvy or in Eclipse, sharing the same code base without the need of a Git repo.

Update sites

• Nightly Build: https://install.codenvycorp.com/eclipse-plugin/updates-nightly
• Main Update Site: https://install.codenvycorp.com/eclipse-plugin/updates

Build the project with Maven

Prerequisites:

• a Maven installation, minimum version 3.2,
• a JDK, minimum version 7.

Steps:

1. Clone the project:

    git clone https://github.com/codenvy/eclipse-plugin.git
   

2. Execute the following commands:

    cd eclipse-plugin
    mvn clean install
   

Warning: It will launch UI integration tests with SWTBot, be careful not to preempt focus when those tests are running to avoid a test failure.

Get this project working under Eclipse

Prerequisites:

• same as those of the Maven build,
• plus an Eclipse installation with m2e and PDE plug-ins installed,
• having a M2_REPO variable configured in Eclipse:
  1. In Eclipse preferences, go to ‘Run/Debug → String Substitution’.
  2. Create a ‘New String Substitution Variable’ with M2_REPO as name and the path to your Maven local repository as value.

Steps:

1. Import the Git project as a Maven project in Eclipse (be careful to import all its submodules too),
2. Wait for the projects to be configured (some errors should be reported on projects, it's normal as target is not yet configured),
3. For a Luna target, open 4.4.target under com.codenvy.eclipse.target (relative to project root),
4. Click on ‘Set as Target Platform’ in the upper right corner of the editor to set this as the default target platform,
5. Update all the projects (the root one and its submodules) through ‘Maven → Update Project…’.

Run the plugin

Once the project imported in Eclipse, right-click its sub-module com.codenvy.eclipse.ui and chose ‘Run as → Eclipse Application’.

Release the plugin

1. Clone the project:

    git clone https://github.com/codenvy/eclipse-plugin.git
    cd eclipse-plugin
   

2. Prepare release:

    mvn tycho-versions:set-version -DnewVersion=${releaseVersion}
    mvn clean install
    git commit -am "Prepare release ${releaseVersion}"
    git push origin master
   

3. Tag released version:

    git tag -a ${releaseVersion} -m "Tag ${releaseVersion}"
    git push origin ${releaseVersion}
   

4. Prepare for next development iteration:

    mvn tycho-versions:set-version -DnewVersion=${nextDevelopmentVersion}
    mvn clean install
    git commit -am "Prepare for next development iteration"
    git push origin master
