Nadya, AFAIU the given page is purely classlib-oriented...though I might be wrong here. It provides info on how to set up Eclipse to develop Java code in Harmony and IMHO doesn't include any tips applying to harmony code in general. I absolutely agree with you that we should have one page describing how to work with harmony code in Eclipse. It goes without saying that we need to update info and the help from engineers' side is of great importance here. You might know that there is a brief webcast for those who want to see a step-by-step guide to configuring Eclipse. On the one hand, it's great, but on the other hand, many screenshots can quickly become outdated. IMHO it's rather complicated to update the video. What would you say? Should we keep it as it is?

The page looks neater this way, and holds important data. One question: can't we say that some of the tips given on the page apply to harmony code in general, not just classlib? So a side idea would be to have one page: how to work with harmony code in Eclipse. What do you say?

Would be great, if you find a chance to look it through. Hope we'll continue working at developing this aspect of documentation. :) Cheers, Sveta -----Original Message----- From: Sian January [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 3:34 PM To: harmony-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [build] Building on Eclipse - FYI 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?
