Setting Up Eclipse Development Environment

These are the instructions for setting up an Eclipse environment for developing the scribble-java project:

• Fork the scribble-java repo and clone it to your local machine.

• Build the source (run "mvn clean install" from the top level folder)

• Download Eclipse for Java Developer from eclipse.org

• Start Eclipse

• Help→ Eclipse Marketplace - search for xtext and install the plugin (will require a restart)

• Import→Maven→Existing Maven Project

  • only select leaf nodes in modules and plugins

  • setup maven plugin connectors for antlr - just press 'finish', which will lead to installation of "m2e connector for antlr and Tycho Project Configurators"

  • If installation of connectors does not happen automatically, then select "Quick Fix" associated with the "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: …​" errors and select the action to lookup for connectors.
