Folks,
I see that we do need one more building doc describing Eclipse
specifics.
The main doc containing building instructions now is the "Getting
Started for Contributors" page.
[http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/quickhelp_contributors.html].
My suggestion is to add one more section to it describing building
instructions for Eclipse. How about that?
Gah. I think it's good to have instructions on how to build in eclipse,
but I think it should be a separate document with a link from the
quickhelp page.
Why? Because I think we should emphasize the "canonical" way to build
that we all support, and other ways are interesting, useful, but not
supported.
Eclipse is one of many ways to do it, and we wouldn't put every way to
build in that doco.
(it would be nice to have another doc on MSVS as well, pointing to
Mikhail's contributions of config files for MSVS for DRLVM)

If you need my help, I'll be glad to manage the doc creation:)
Cheers,
Sveta

Subject: Re: [build] Building on Eclipse - FYI
Hi Nathan,
Yes - I was trying to run the enitre build in Eclipse and this is always
my
preferred method of building. There is at least one other extra step
apart
from the one discussed in this thread so I think some additional
documentation would be useful.
Thanks,
Sian

Are you referring to running the build scripts via Eclipse? Just
wanted to make sure I understand.
Personally, I only import the module projects one at a time and run
the full builds outside of Eclipse, so I've never tried this. Perhaps
some additional documentation on using Eclipse in this fashion. This
might be helpful additionally.

Hello,
I encountered a problem today building on Eclipse, and I just
thought
I'd
post about it here in case anyone sees the same problem in the
future. I
was getting the error:
BUILD FAILED
*
C:\eclipse32harmony\eclipse\workspace\Harmony\build.xml:108: The
following
error occurred while executing this line:
C:\eclipse32harmony\eclipse\workspace\Harmony\make\build-java.xml:127:
The
Eclipse compiler class for Ant could not be found. Please place the
ECJ
JAR
in ANT_HOME/lib. The JAR can copied from
CLASSLIB_TRUNK/depends/jars/ecj_3.2
folder after the fetch-depends target has been run.

The solution to this is to copy ecj_3.2.jar into
..\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.6.5\lib and *also* change the Ant
settings
to
include this jar (Window > Preferences > Ant > Runtime then select
'Global
Entries' then 'Add External Jars' and add ecj_3.2.jar from the
org.apache.ant_1.6.5\lib directory).
I don't know if many people build on Eclipse, and I know there have
been
some conversations about having too many instructions on the
website,
but
since the steps are slightly different for Eclipse I wondered if it
might be
worth augmenting the instructions or adding some Eclipse-specific
ones
at
some point?
