I'm using Eclipse 3.4.2 (ganymede-SR2) for Java EE. You need a Java EE edition to build plugins. I haven't tried the Helios versions.
The repository is SVN not CVS so you need an SVN plugin (regular windows TortoiseSVN had some problems). I use Subclipse http://subclipse.tigris.org/ and that gives you the option new project -> from SVN Then you can export as a Plug-in and put the resulting jars in the /plugins folder under eclipse. Next you checkout a version of java lucene (again with subclipse) and you will need to setup the .project and .classpath files correctly. Here is a copy of mine for reference: .project <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <projectDescription> <name>lucene_3_0_3</name> <comment></comment> <projects> </projects> <buildSpec> <buildCommand> <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name> <arguments> </arguments> </buildCommand> <buildCommand> <name>sharpen.builder.sharpenBuilder</name> <arguments> </arguments> </buildCommand> </buildSpec> <natures> <nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature> <nature>sharpen.builder.sharpenNature</nature> </natures> </projectDescription> .classpath <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <classpath> <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/java"/> <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/demo"/> <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/test"/> <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/junit-3.8.2.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/servlet-api-2.4.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/> </classpath> I use Ant to run sharpen and you can find my Ant scripts as well as the patches I made for sharpen and preprocessing in my last uploaded package here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-380 Alex -----Original Message----- From: Prescott Nasser [mailto:geobmx...@hotmail.com] Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2011 2:12 PM To: lucene-net-dev@lucene.apache.org Subject: Sharpen setup Hey all, I'm looking for some help setting up sharpen. I haven't done java development in probably close to 8 years and my tooling knowledge is incredibly out of date. I grabbed Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (Version: Helios Service Release 1 Build id: 20100917-0705) and was looking at documentation for sharpen (http://developer.db4o.com/Documentation/Reference/db4o-7.12/java/reference/ html/Content/sharpen/how_to_setup_sharpen.html) and (http://developer.db4o.com/Blogs/Product/tabid/167/entryid/95/Default.aspx). Following the first link, I pulled down the latest sharpen from their repository, and then imported the project. It then says to export as a Plug-in - but I don't have that option. Also, eclipse is giving me errors about org.eclipse not being found. Following the second link, it says to add a new project -> from CVS. However, ecplise won't even retrieve the packages from their repo. I've tried all the options (ext, extssh, pserver, pserverssh) and I get login errors from the later 3, an a general ext error when selecting that option. Does anyone have experience setting this up? ~Prescott
