Nick,

I am not sure whether bringing this to your attention is necessary but I thought, what the heck, maybe someone else may benefit from this.

I followed the procedure you set out at http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Building#Fetch_Sources.

Everything downloaded correctly. Except for the following exception everything build smoothly.

There are some compilation dependencies in the /org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder project which do not seem to resolve.

1. It depends on a j2ee.jar. 2. Some of the dependencies still reference older/previous versions of jar's (See attached image)

I can resolve all the errors with outdated dependencies by replacing them with others in the plugins folder, but for the j2ee.jar I had to add j2ee.jar to my private library and include it in the project, even though the project seems to reference a j2ee.jar in "eclipsInternalBuildTools". I cannot find this location in the projects.

Thanks - does this mean that the HEAD of VE sources will only compile for Eclipse 3.5 now?

Any comments on encouraging community participation in this project?

I have in the meantime discovered the main culprit for my errors was a dependency on the dependencies tab of plugin.xml.

I had errors because the version of com.ibm.icu on Galileo is 4.0.1 and the expected dependency was 3.something

In Fact, it is already fixed in CVS

yves

All the project now compile successfully.

Marius:

To answer your question, I've created a wiki page to capture how best to set up a workspace for building VE (and JEM, since we build that as well).

http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Building

Let me know if that helps! (Or if anything's missing.)

--

As every project is run a bit differently, the best advice I can give you is to talk to the project leads &/or active developers, read the mailing list posts to see what's going on in the project, etc. Get involved! As people learn your name, and see what you're capable of (eg., fixing bugs, submitting patches, contributing to architectural discussions/planning), you'll rise from 'interested user' to 'contributor' and maybe eventually committer.

I've copied your question to the ve-dev@ mailing list so other active participants can chime in with what they would like to see from new members, and so other interested contributors can test out the wiki'd instructions above and see if they work for them.

(I'm the guy who pokes the builds & website from time to time, but I'm not actively involved in the planning, development, or management of this project beyond that.)

Joe? Yves? Anything to add?

Nick, I noticed you did the VE 1.4.0 R build. If you would be so kind to assist me in getting started with the VE stuff.



I have never before been a contributor to open-source. The primary reason is that I do not know howe to get started.





I have checked out the VE-ALL projects. There are sub-projects under some other projects.



If I open the projects in Eclipse I have a lot of errors regarding dependencies for logging and concurrency, etc..



I would like to understand this.

Must the project structures remain exactly as checked out?

Must I download the dependencies from their respective web-sites? I have done this for the concurrency.jar and when I included it in the project I get deprecation errors on the JDT sources.

Are there some basic guidelines somewhere on how to get actively involved in a project.

Kind regards.

Robert,

I fully agree with Vincenzo Caselli here. I have dropped my whole installation, and using the Platform SDK Alone, I installed the VE All in One SDK, from the update site. No errors, No fuss. Looking at the installation Details youâll notice the Required EMF is installed along with the SDK. So are the sources.







So please ignore my previous instructions. I am currently doing plugin development and those additional plugins were required for my project.

Hi Robert,
from the error log you provided I see you are working with the JEE bundle of Eclipse (a.k.a. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers).
This bundle (and probably some other) have conflicting problems when trying to install VE.
See the following posts from the VE project team:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/ve-dev/msg01854.html
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/ve-dev/msg01855.html

Anyway there is a solution.
Use the Eclipse Classic 3.5.1 (a.k.a. Galileo SDK), you can find it here:

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.5.1-200909170800/index.php

and install VE as the first thing (here is the update site):

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/updates/1.4

then add other plugins if you need other.

Let me know if it works.
Cheers
Vincenzo Caselli

    This gives us access to the Eclipse sources. This is not a
