This setup was tested on asl 6-cluster (asl73x) with using eclipse-mars

In the pom.xml of the project-base directory, select your eclipse platform:

<platform-version-name>mars</platform-version-name>

Currently profiles for eclipse-mars and eclipse-neon are available. Neon is installed on the CentOS 7 cluster (asl74x), Mars on the SLC6 cluster ( asl73x)

Required Eclipse Plugins in order to build the project

Help --> Install new Software

• Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment
  • Source: Official Eclipse Repo. E.g.: Mars - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars
• m2e connector for build-helper-maven-plugin
  • for eclipse-mars: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.m2e/connectors/m2eclipse-buildhelper/0.15.0/N/0.15.0.201207090124/
  • for eclipse-neon : Search the eclipse-marketplace for "maven-development-tools"
• m2e connector for the Maven Dependency Plugin
  • for eclipse-mars: http://ianbrandt.github.io/m2e-maven-dependency-plugin/0.0.4/
  • for eclipse-neon : Search the eclipse-marketplace for "maven-dependency-plugin"

  • for eclipse-neon : Search the eclipse-marketplace for "tycho", install both, the "tycho build tools" and the "maven tycho utilities"

Build the Project

• At GSI the project grabs all relevent jars via maven:
• There are two possible ways to build the plugin
  • Via eclipse ( you need to setup the Maven-GSI preferences )
    • Configure your GSI Maven Artifact Repo (only do the steps in "Configuring the Maven instance used in Eclipse" ... everything else is not needed )
    • It should be sufficient to select "Project --> Build Project" in eclipse
  • Via command-line
    • Open a console and go to the main folder "silecs-eclipse-plugin"
    • run mvn install
  • Check if there are any errors (red markers) on the files/folders of the project ... if so, try to fix the problems or call the Silecs-Support

Known bugs

• For eclipse-neon I got many erros in the Manifest like "Bundle 'org.eclipse.core.runtime' cannot be resolved". The solution was: I had to set the eclipse-target-platform in "Window-->Preferences-->Target Platform --> Add --> Default" and check the checkbox for it.
