This is the tutorial for building the source that I am referencing the same as stickied in the forums. http://kenai.com/projects/eplugin/pages/BuildFromSources Did anyone else find these instructions vague? References to the tutorial will be in green text Requirements * Install Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. * Install DeltaPack from http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads - click on 3.4 link and download the package in the DeltaPack section. * Download the SDK zip file from [javafx.com] (TBD - at the moment only the installer is available, you have to zip it back) I understand that you dl IDE and unzip the plugin to the source eclipse folder but then it says (TBD - at the moment only the installer is available, you have to zip it back) I assume this means you install the javafx SDK and put the results of such into a zip file. But it leaves out what the base directory should be in the .zip file. Should it be javafx-sdk1.1/ or should the base of the .zip file be the contents of that folder??? then Get the sources * svn co https://kenai.com/svn/eplugin~subversion/trunk eplugin So i used eclipse to checkout that repository but the projects are the subfolders(That's ok I can reopen eclipse and go a directory up and use them as the seperate projects) but that leaves out build.xml and it would almost seem I need this if I"m going to build the workspace. Or it's even possible that I never need to open the IDE?? just need to run the command prompt to build it using the IDE directory? Run the build * cd eplugin * ant -DeclipseDir=<path> -Djavafx.sdk.build.url=<url_to_zip> clean build-windows [build-macosx] [build-linux] I'm a little confused here on if these are arguments to provide for an ant script(Possibly build.xml that was never mentioned) or if this should be run from the command prompt is probably my guess. I'm most likely just over-thinking this, but I'm just saying the tutorial is leaving quite a bit of room for me to over-think it. So if anyone could clear up these details that would be appreciated(It would be nice to know that if I don't get it working on my first try that I might have a direction on which one of those I assumed incorrectly on) Then after that do you just zip up the bin folders and add them to the plugins and features folder of your eclipse?? |

ok I figured it out 1.javafx-sdk1.1/ is the base directory 2.You don't need to open eclipse 3.It's a command prompt Something else I had to do to get the build working is add the arguments -Djavafx.sdk.root.dir="javafx-sdk1.1" -Drelease.version="1.1" and I already knew this but it doesn't mention in the tutorial that you need ant, Just download the zip file from apache ant put it on your harddrive and setup a system variable named ANT_HOME and also place %ANT_HOME%: %ANT_HOME%\bin; in your path variable. (Sorry that the ant tutorial is vague but I promise it's not the only one). |
