Re: [alf-dev] ALF Infrastructure redux
|
Hi Matt,
I think this mailing list is the only doc so far, but I'm guilty of not following ALF that close lately.
I'd like to add a few bits in case others are silently following along.
* The ALFPlugin is stored in CVS as an eclipse project. In team
CVS perspective, Navigate to /home/technology/org.elcipse.alf then
eventmgr then right click on ALFPlugin to check out as project into
your Eclipse workspace as in step 1) of previous post. There's no
need to tease source code out by using the team perspective.
* I think the jdom library jar was not included in CVS for legal
reasons. But all one needs to do is download it and import into
the ALFPlugin project lib dir. The ALF team already has already
thoughtfully pre-configured in the project .classpath file, so
just import to the lib dir and the project will auto-rebuild with no
errors.
* Step 3) in previous post was implicity describing setting up the
launcher for running the plugin in another runtime workspace (right
click on the ALFPlug project that is in your workspace, select Run
As->Run.., then configure a new Eclipse Application launcher).
Step 4) refers to the menu in the second runtime instance after it is
launched.
* One could easily export the ALFPlugin project in one's workspace as a
plugin. This avoids having to run a second runtime. I was
just itchin' to go and too impatient for this :).
Thanks...Bob

Thanks Bob. Is this email the only place where this
is documented?
I'm adding these instructions to my personal ALF
HOW-TO. Once I have enough in said document, I'll post it for
review.
Thanks,

Matt,
I was able to download, compile, and
successfully run the ALFPlugin from CVS. Here's the steps I
used:
1) Used CVS team perspective to checkout the ALFPlugin dir as
project in workspace.
2) Downloaded jdom.jar to desktop and imported into
lib dir of project. At this point, all build errors go away. See
http://www.jdom.org/downlaods/index.html and go to binary
release builds.
3) This is critical. In launch config, select clear
workspace (main tab) before launch *and* clear config area (configuration
tab). Of course, select the ALFPlugin from workspace plugins in Plugins
tab.
4) Select File->New->Project->ALFProject from menu.
Enjoy!
Cheers...Bob
