Re: [jdt-ui-dev] getting eclipse to run

["Adam Kiezun" <adam.kiezun@xxxxxxx>]

hi,
try this:

0. turn autobuild off (window -> preferences -> perform build .....)

1. get only the org.eclipse.jdt.ui project from the repo
put source for it into a directory called 'plugins'
so, you'll be starting eclipse runtime with a command like:

D:\eclipse1116_1120\eclipse\eclipse.exe -platform
d:\eclipseWorkbench2\plugins
(this is exactly what i have - ok, let's use my setup as an example)

2. go to the navigator and convert the plugin to PDE (choose item from the
context menu)
3. (workaround!)
open the .classpath file

change the entry for swt to sth like:
<classpathentry kind="var"

path="ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.swt/ws/win32/swt.jar"
sourcepath="ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.swt/ws/win32/swtsrc.zip"/>

if you're running windows

4. copy the 'install' directory from the eclipse runtime to the development
workspace
(e.g. from D:\eclipse1116_1120\eclipse to d:\eclipseWorkbench2\)

5. run the Rin-time Workbench launcher (from the 'run' toolbar)

tell me if it worked
