Hi Frank, So we are using the same tools :-)
Well, over the years and testing out several things I found out that "back to the roots" eclipse is the best for doing all the coding work. The best version of eclipse for huge projects is elcipse "helios". The preconfigured helios you can find here: http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/ If you had used before another eclipse it would be the best to delete the .metadata folder in your working folder (What I have set here on /var/www in my ubuntu workstation). Then you might avoid some strange behaviour in your new download. If you have already helios pdt in use, you can leave it as it is. In eclipse itself you still have to add the plug in for subversion. Here you might have two options where you have to decide "either or" but you can't use booth. Take a look at the "Eclipse Marketplace", what is a quite excellent modification on that release of eclipse what makes easy to downland and install new add-in's. The subversion connector I am using here is subclipse. I know that some developers out there falling in love with subversive - but decide by your own. In some small conclusion: subclipse is more rustical, but slow. subversive is fast, but somehow not that rustical. (My feeling, but I make no religion out of it). After you installed it by the marketplace you have to restart your eclipse and then open the perspective "SVN Repository Exploring". Some words on that step now about java. Best experiences we made is to use the SUN JRE (if you have the option to use even JDK, then add it as well). It is much faster than the open runtime what comes by default with ubuntu. Hopefully no one from ubuntu here is reading along as well, but that is my impression :-) If you will get an error that javaHL is missing or a message like "Failed to load JavaHL Library", just install it now by sudo apt-get install libsvn-java In some -really seldom cases- it still has issues. Sorry for that... but in case that might still not working then check gedit ~/.eclipse/eclipserc and add VMARGS="-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni" Just in case that you still have issues. In most cases it works quite after installation from the eclipse marketplace. When you have done it you are "in" :) That means: Ony the code is missing now on your local pc. Go now on this "SVN Repository Exploring" perspective and add follwing URL as repository URL: https://care2002.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/care2002 It should show you now three folders: care2utu care2x care2x_tz First one is still there because I got today an information that a team in Kenya uploaded some changes and I do not really know what and where. When I know it - I will delete that folder. Please do not use it. The current development for Tanzanian Version (mostly ELCT hospitals) you can find under care2x_tz. Mauri send a info some days ago here as well on facebook that the team is now starting to work on it. there is a bit more to tell about that kind of version and what we have to do till it can be used here officially. That is just an developer note for you and the other here. care2x folder is your friend. You will find here following folders: trunk, branches, care2x2.6.x_language_packs, logos, tags, trunk. trunk: Representing the current release what will be released today. (Information is coming soon as I have finished that HOWTO here for you) ;-) branches: There is e.g. the "gettext" version where we are working parallel. It follows a new way of handling translations as well as some on "experimental" level of modularisation. You can try it out... it is 100% compatible with the database of trunk but has several new innovations in it. pre-pre-pre alpha status. I moved out of trunk all translations now out to an different folder till they are complete. If you have done the Swahili and confirmed then we move it back to the main release. By the way.. for all the other languages we would need people like you who will be looking for. We are good, but not that good that we speak all the languages available here. Okay.. when you look now to the folder care2x2.6.x_language_packs you will find a sub-folder called "sw" what representing the Swahili translation files. You can either check just this folder out by right click and "checkout" or - in case you have the option to let the computer running all night long - check out all by making a right click on "care2x". Takes much longer - but then you have it all. The first check out brings all the files to your computer. Then just the changes. Maybe some information now in that email you already know - but I thought it might also be interesting for the others here as well.
