| Gerrit2 - Eclipse Setup |
| ======================= |
| |
| This document is about installing Gerrit into an Eclipse workspace |
| for development and debugging, especially with the GWT hosted |
| mode debugger. |
| |
| You will need to have the GWT (Google Web Toolkit) SDK installed on |
| your system. A Java 5 or later SDK is also required to run GWT's |
| compiler and runtime. |
| |
| GWT requires the Sun JDK (or OpenJDK). The GWT "hosted mode" |
| environment (Eclipse debugger or "make web-shell") does not work |
| under libgcj. |
| |
| |
| User Library |
| ------------ |
| |
| Create a user library called `GWT`: |
| |
| * Window > Preferences |
| * Java > Build Path > User Libraries |
| |
| * New |
| * Name: `GWT` |
| * Add JARs... |
| |
| * Select `gwt-user.jar` from the $(GWT_SDK) directory. |
| * Select `gwt-dev-$(OS).jar` from the $(GWT_SDK) directory. |
| |
| Maven Plugin |
| ------------ |
| |
| Install the Maven Integration plugins: |
| |
| http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/[m2eclipse] |
| |
| |
| Pre-Build |
| --------- |
| |
| Ensure jgit has been installed in your maven repository: |
| |
| ==== |
| (cd ../jgit/jgit-maven/jgit/ && mvn install) |
| ==== |
| |
| |
| Import Projects |
| --------------- |
| |
| Import appdist using General -> Maven Projects |
| |
| Uncheck `jgit`. You don't want to import it. The Maven project |
| is configured in a non-standard way and the Eclipse plugin can't |
| import it correctly. |
| |
| Right click on `gwtorm`, Maven -> Update Project Configuration to |
| force a compile of the generted ANTLR sources. This fixes the |
| compile errors identified after import. |
| |
| |
| Configure Database |
| ------------------ |
| |
| You may have already done this step earlier, based on the |
| instructions in link:dev-readme.html[Developer Setup]. |
| |
| * Open gerrit-devdb/src/main/config |
| * Copy `GerritServer.properties_example` to `GerritServer.properties` |
| * Configure your database for debugging in hosted mode. |
| |
| Sometimes Eclipse doesn't correctly update gerrit-devdb after you |
| create or make changes to GerritServer.properties. Its a good |
| idea to use Project -> Clean... to clean this project, and also |
| right click Refresh to ensure Eclipse has fully updated the runtime |
| location with the most current property file. |
| |
| |
| Launch Gerrit |
| ------------- |
| |
| Open Run->Debug Configurations... |
| |
| Under Java Application find `gerrit_debug` (not Mac OS X) |
| or `gerrit_macos` (Mac OS X only) to start the GWT hosted |
| mode browser and debug through Eclipse. |
