This document describes all steps necessary to create a development environment to develop the EDIT Taxonomic Editor. If you are looking for
|
|
11
|
instructions on how to install the EDIT Taxonomic Editor please consult the {{{./manual.html} manual}}.

* Requirements
|
|
18
|
|
|
19
|
The current version of the EDIT Taxonomic Editor is developed using the Eclipse IDE for RCP developers.
|
|
20
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22
|
* Checking out the sources
|
|
23
|
|
|
24
|
Use git to check out the sources from the EDIT repository to a location on your development machine.
|
|

$ ssh://git@dev.e-taxonomy.eu/var/git/taxeditor.git

This will leave you with a directory <<<taxeditor/>>> containing everything that is needed. We will have a look at the contents later on.
|
|
32
|
|
|
33
|
* Setting up eclipse
|
|
34
|
|
|
35
|
* Start up eclipse and open a workspace.
|
|
36
|
|
|
37
|
* Open up the Import Wizard via <File -\> Import...> from the menu
|
|
38
|
|
|
39
|
* Choose <General -\> Existing projects into Workspace > and click next.
|
|
40
|
|
|
41
|
* Check <Select Root Directory> and browse to the <<<taxeditor/>>> directory. After confirming the directory selection dialog, the <Projects> list should contain a number of projects all starting with
|
|
42
|
<<<eu.etaxonomy.taxeditor>>> which should be checked for import.
|
|
43
|
|
|
44
|
* Click <Select All> to finish the wizard and import the projects into your workspace.
|
|
45
|
|
|
46
|
You should now be able to see the taxeditor projects in your workspace.
|
|
47
|
|
|
48
|
* Dependencies
|
|
49
|
|
|
50
|
The Taxonomic Editor uses <maven 3> for convenient configuration and automation of common tasks,
|
|
51
|
such as resolving dependencies and automating builds.
|
|
52
|
|
|
53
|
We have two modules that use maven for dependency resolution: cdmlibrary and the molecular module.
|
|
54
|
|
|
55
|
The <<<latest snapshot branch>>> of the Taxonomic Editor is programmed against the latest
|
|
56
|
SNAPSHOT version of the cdmlibrary. Because that dependency will change quickly, we
|
|
57
|
do not include it with the other dependencies but rather install it with maven.
|
|
58
|
|
|
59
|
In order to do that you have to run <<<mvn validate>>> in your <<<taxeditor/eu.etaxonomy.taxeditor.cdmlib>>> and <<<taxeditor/eu.etaxonomy.taxeditor.molecular.lib>>> directory.
|
|
60
|
|
|
61
|
---
|
|
62
|
$ cd taxeditor/eu.etaxonomy.taxeditor.cdmlib/
|
|
63
|
$ mvn validate
|
|
64
|
$ cd taxeditor/eu.etaxonomy.taxeditor.molecular.lib/
|
|
65
|
$ mvn validate
|
|
66
|
---
|
|
67
|
|
|
68
|
The maven pom.xml provides a special profile which you may want to use if you are developing the cdmlib at the same time. This profile, named <<<local-repository>>>, causes maven to always use the local maven repository, so the latest changes to the cdmlib which have been installed locally by <<<mvn install>>> will be used. In order to use this profile you would execute the validate gloal differently:
|
|
69
|
|
|
70
|
---
|
|
71
|
$ mvn -P local-repository -Dlocalrepo=/home/${youUserName}/.m2/repository validate
|
|
72
|
---
|
|
73
|
|
|
74
|
This will take some time, as maven will download the required dependencies.
|
|
75
|
|
|
76
|
|
|
77
|
After maven has finished follow these steps:
|
|
78
|
|
|
79
|
The UI is implemented using a fixed version of SWT. So please follow the steps to correctly set the {{{https://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/redmine/projects/edit/wiki/TaxonomicEditorDevelopersGuide#Target-RCP-Environment}Target-RCP-Environment}}
|
|
80
|
|
|
81
|
To get rid of the errors, you have to update the classpaths of all plugin projects. To do this right-click any of the <taxeditor-*> projects and choose <PDE Tools -\> Update Classpath...>. Select All plugins except taxeditor.webapp and confirm. After a rebuild of your entire workspace all errors should be gone and you are ready to go.
|
|
82
|
|
|
83
|
<<Note>>: If you have also checked out the cdmlib sources you may have to run <<<mvn install>>> on the cdmlib project beforehand to update the cdmlib jars in your local maven repository.

* Creating a launch configuration
|
|
146
|
|

|
To start the Taxonomic Editor from your newly created development environment you need to create a launch configuration.
|
|
148
|
|
|
149
|
* Expand <eu.etaxonomy.taxeditor> and open <<<eu.etaxonomy.taxeditor.product>>>
|
|
