Development

I highly recommend Eclipse 4.2 for development of eTrack. If you download the Eclipse 4.2 modeling package, you will have most of the features you need. Features can be found on Eclipse, the marketplace, or the linked p2 repo.

The following features are required:

• Java Developmemt (JDT)
• Plug-in Development (PDE)
• Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF)
• Xtext
• EGit
• FindBugs
• EclEmma
• Jnario p2 repo
• Workspace Mechanic p2 repo

The following features are optional:

• Mylyn
• BIRT
• Database Development (DTP)
• Marketplace Client
• XML Editors
• JavaScript Development Tools
• Web Page Editor
• Code Recommenders
• Sonar

Workspace Preparation

• Configure Workspace Mechanic
  • Preferences -> Workspace Mechanic
  • New...; add the directory {workspace_loc}/org.eclipselabs.etrack.developer/Preferences/Required
  • New...; add the directory {workspace_loc}/org.eclipselabs.etrack.developer/Preferences/Optional (these are optional)
