Currently our code is in the alpha stage, but you can get a
copy from CVS if you want to see how things are going. Below are instructions
on getting the code and building it:
Eclipse APT Project - Developer Setup Instructions
==================================================
1. Install Eclipse SDK 3.1.
2. Launch eclipse, creating a new Workspace. Say
"C:\AptWorkspace".
3. Install a 1.5 JRE for eclipse. To add it to
Eclipse:
a. go to the "Window” menu,
and then choose "Preferences | Java | Installed JREs".
b. click the add button and install the
1.5 JRE. You will need to name this "JRE 1.5.0".
Make this the default
JRE.
4. Now you need to check out the various CVS projects
from the eclipse CVS server.
a. Configure your eclipse to point
to the eclipse CVS repository:
Open the
"CVS Repository Exploring" Perspective.
Then right-click
in the CVS Repositories frame and select New->Repository Location.
Fill in the
following values:
Host:
dev.eclipse.org
Repository
path: /home/eclipse
User:
anonymous
Password: <leave blank>
Connection
type: pserver
b. Check out HEAD revisions of the
following projects:
org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core
org.eclipse.jdt.apt.tests
org.eclipse.jdt.apt.ui
org.eclipse.test.performance
To do this, open
the :pserver:anonymous... node, and then
the HEAD node.
Right-click on the folders as named above, and select
"Check
out". This will copy all the files to your local machine.
c. Refresh the branches.
Right-click the top-level "Branches" node
(adjacent to
"HEAD"), and then select "Refresh Branches..."
Select the
following projects to be scanned for tags:
org.eclipse.jdt.core
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.builder
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.compiler
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.model
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.performance
d. Check out APT branch revisions
of the following projects :
Under Branches,
there will now be an "APT" branch.
Open that and
select the following nodes:
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.builder
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.compiler
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.model
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.performance
org.eclipse.jdt.core
Then right-click
each of them and select "Check out". This will take
some time as all
the files are copied to your local machine.
You can now
switch back to the "Java" Perspective.
5. Copy the file tools.jar from the 1.5 JDK
(%JDK_1.5_HOME%/lib/tools.jar)
into the root of the org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core
project,
and then right-click that project and
choose "Refresh".
6. Ensure that the workspace builds with no problems
that are error level.
You will see a few warnings depending on
the strictness of your warning
settins.
7. If you want to export the plugin, then you can run
the ant script at
org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core/scripts/exportplugin.xml
Feel free to ask any questions you have on this mailing
list.
