Build / Run / Debug

To build / run / debug the Fesa Eclipse plug-in from the workspace checkout the projects named above directly into the workspace.

Fetching the required 3rd-party libraries for the projects fesa-plugin-control, fesa-plugin-control-gsi, fesa-plugin-model, fesa-plugin-utils, fesa-plugin-svnimpl-gsi from the Maven repository at GSI is done during the compile process. In order to accomplish that with Maven create the parent pom.xml found in https://www-acc.gsi.de/svn/fesa/framework/trunk/fesa-plugin-kepler/pom.xml in the workspace and run mvn compile.

Generate the fesa-plugin libraries for fesa-plugin-ui/lib by executing the generateJar-files in the projects fesa-plugin-control / -control-gsi / -model / -svnimpl-gsi / -utils.

Next adjust the run configuration for fesa-plugin-ui and start from fesa-plugin-ui/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF (Run As / Debug As...Eclipse Application).

Maven Build

Useful information: https://www-acc.gsi.de/wiki/IN/Maven Eclipse specific 3rd-party libraries have to be deployed into the Nexus repository (csco) manually before they can be used during the fetch process (https://www-acc.gsi.de/wiki/IN/Maven#Deploy_single_file).

Recommended Eclipse Version for the current release

For the final release of FESA Eclipse Kepler will be used: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Eclipse Crash Prevention

Currently (08/09 2014) Eclipse Kepler sometimes crashes due to bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404776 . To avoid the crashes use the start option

 -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

The disadvantage is that HTML based documentation will not work anymore, e.g. FESA documentation in the FESA Browser.
