RE: [mylar-dev] Developing Mylar on Eclipse

["Naveed Jauhar" <njauhar@xxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for replying Eugene. I have followed the instructions found at:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Contributor_Reference#Workspace

1) My JRE is up to date and the J2SE points to the JRE correctly. 

2) I have downloaded the entire source head from the cvs. I need to modify the bugzilla UI and Connector to implement the changes needed for our needs. I then need to compile the plugin into a jar to use it internally at my workplace.

3) I have tried running the source as a java 5 application. However, i don't think that's the path to follow. Firstly, the compiler throws about 5000 errors before it crashes. Also, I am not sure how the java 5 run command will create a 3.2 workbunch to test the plugin.

4) I have also tried making a sample "Hello World" PDE application and linking the mylar source to the source folder. That also throws 500+ errors.

5) The ANT build files are not being created using the pde tools options either.

Again, I am sure I am making this more complicated than it's really is. The source should be able to compile and run with little effore, since active modification and development takes place on a daily basis. 

I have also tried reading up on PDE dev environment, but that doesn't lead me anywhere. 

Any help/suggestion will be immensely appreciated.

Warm Regards,
Naveed

  You may want to read trough instructions at 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Contributor_Reference#Workspace

  The easiest way is just import recommended project set. There will be 
more projects then you need, but it is just easy. Alternatively you can 
actually look at the errors and checkout required dependencies one by one.
  Note that when checking out from CVS head you can't really use Mylar 
plugins installed in your Eclipse as dependencies, because internal API 
fade away really quick.

  regards,
  Eugene
