Hi Sveta, That sounds like a great idea. I think the two main things you need to do extra on Eclipse on Windows are as follows:
1. Make a copy of vsvars32.bat from your Visual Studio install directory. If you have chosen the defaults when installing you will find it in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools". Copy it to somewhere convenient such as the desktop and add the following line (just below the last line that begins "@set..."): start C:\...\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xmx512M (where ... is the path to your eclipse installation). NB. using "-vmargs -Xmx512M" is optional, but helpful to stop Eclipse running out of memory. Now just double click on this file to start Eclipse. 2. After you have started Eclipse and checked out Harmony from SVN, copy ecj_3.2.jar into ..\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.6.5\lib and change the Ant settings to include this jar (Window > Preferences > Ant > Runtime then select 'Global Entries' then 'Add External Jars' and add ecj_3.2.jar from the org.apache.ant_1.6.5\lib directory). If you're happy to add that to the document that would be great. On Linux you will also need to do 2, but I'm not sure if there's an equivalent to 1 or not. Has anyone else tried building in Eclipse on Linux? Thanks, Sian On 26/10/06, Konovalova, Svetlana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Folks, I see that we do need one more building doc describing Eclipse specifics. The main doc containing building instructions now is the "Getting Started for Contributors" page. [http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/quickhelp_contributors.html]. My suggestion is to add one more section to it describing building instructions for Eclipse. How about that? If you need my help, I'll be glad to manage the doc creation:) Cheers, Sveta -----Original Message----- From: Sian January [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 4:06 PM To: harmony-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [build] Building on Eclipse - FYI Hi Nathan, Yes - I was trying to run the enitre build in Eclipse and this is always my preferred method of building. There is at least one other extra step apart from the one discussed in this thread so I think some additional documentation would be useful.
