Re: [jdt-core-dev] Help checking out jdt-core projects

Hello Mohamed,

We appreciate the interest you have
shown in contributing to JDT Core! Hope my answers help you complete your
workspace set up:

A#1:  I have raised bug 440503
to track this. Until then, you have to have both 1.4 and 1.6 EE for your
tests and JDT/Core project respectively.

A#2: You should be using either the
latest 4.5 I build or 4.4 official build. I have updated the wiki page
to reflect the correct information.

A#3: If you want to contribute to Eclipse
4.5 (Mars),  you should be working off master branch. Again, the wiki
page has been updated accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Jay

Help checking out jdt-core projects

On planning to contribute to JDT/Core project
and work on a bug that has been taged as helpwanted; I've checked out the
master branch of the JDT/Core project.

I finally managed to fix all compilation errors I faced during the setup
of the environment to start working.
So, I wanted to update the http://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core_Committer_FAQ
so that new comers wouldn't face the same issues.

My questions are:

Q# 1- This link http://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core_Committer_FAQ
states that the org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.* projects should be checked
out. 
The problem is that these projects require J2SE-1.4 although the JDT/Core
projects themselves have been updated to use JavaSE-1.6  as indicated
by the FAQ page (updated by Stephan.herrmann.berlin.de on 14th June, 2014)

Will the tests projects be updated as well, or the FAQ document should
be updated to include the JDK1.4 also (note I checked out the master branch
and since the upgrade to JDK1.6 is recent, I'm not sure what to expect)?

Q# 2- I've used Eclipse Luna for development as well as the target API
Baseline. I know the FAQ page says to use 3.8. But since there's no Eclipse
3.8, I don't really know what version of Eclipse I should be using.
Also, just to confirm I must use RCP edition, right?

Q# 3. Which branch should I be checking out to use in my case?

Your reply and time reading this email are highly appreciated._______________________________________________
