Hi, Welcome! It is very easy to set up a Pivot project using Eclipse (the Pivot platform itself is actually built using Eclipse). These are the steps I typically use:
- Create a new Java project (File > New Java Project). - Add a lib folder to the project. - Copy the Pivot JARs you need to the lib folder. At a minimum, you'll need pivot-core-1.4.jar, pivot-wtk-1.4.jar, and pivot-wtk-terra-1.4.jar. The contents of all the Pivot JARs are discussed in the Platform Overview section of the tutorial (http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/platform-overview.html). - Right-click on the project in Eclipse and select Properties. Click on Java Build Path. - Select the Libraries tab and click Add JARs. - Navigate to the lib directory in your newly created project, select the Pivot JARs, and click OK. You can now create your main application class (the one that implements org.apache.pivot.wtk.Application). The Hello World tutorial page discusses this interface in more detail and provides information on how to launch it in a browser or as a desktop application: http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/hello-world.html Note that there is a typo in the current version of this page. The "applicationClassName" applet param should actually be "application_class_name". This will be fixed the next time we update the site. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
