Hi Steven,
Thanks for the explanation above. I have followed the procedure but
am confused at the last step. Following your instructions to the
tee, there is no project called "electric" created in any of the
previous steps. The only two options I get is electric-java or
electric-scala. Do I have to create another project called
"electric"? There is a Launcher.java in the following path however,
/home/yusuf/Electric/electric/electric-java/com/sun/electric/Launcher.java
but how do I access it?
The bigger question is how do I actually modify some section of
source code, re- compile the code to create the binary from which to
start my modified Electric?
The way my instructions work is that you first extract the java.net
source tree into a "project in the workspace" (not associated with
any language). This is the project that I told you to name
"Electric". This project has both java and scala code in it.
Next, for efficiency reasons, I have you create two separate
language-specific projects, "electric-java" and "electric-scala".
So you should really have three Eclipse projects.
Of course, you can find any source-code file in both the main
"Electric" project AND one of the two language projects. During
normal editing and debugging, you should access these files from the
language projects. But when you want to update sources from the
repository to get the latest versions, do a Team/Synchronize of the
"Electric" project.
Now as far as compiling and running, that is what Eclipse is good
at. My step (4) told you how to create a launch configuration. Once
that is done, launch it and you should have Electric running.
