# Eclipse plugins and preferences

{{>toc}}

_Plugins, code templates, coding conventions, preferences etc. for EDIT CDM Development in php, java, javascript._

*TIP*: _For quickly setting up eclipse you may want to import the @prefs-available-software-sites.xml@, see the "Plugins" for more on this._

----

## Installing Eclipse

The eclipse IDE can be downloaded from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/ where you may want to choose the 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers' package.

Another very good option is the [Spring Tool Suite](https://spring.io/tools) which comes bundled with almost all plugins you will need.

## Quick Setup

### Setting up eclipse

1. import the @prefs-available-software-sites.xml@, see the "Plugins" for more on this.

1. enable the following plugins:

  * Remote Workspace Preferences

  * TODO ...

### Setting up a new Workspace

1. import the [[EclipsePreferencesforTeams#RemoteWorkspacePreferences|Remote Workspace Preferences]] from http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/devtools/eclipse/4.x/prefs/prefs_remote_workspace_preferences.epf (see [Remote Workspace Preferences section](https://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/EclipsePreferencesforTeams#RemoteWorkspacePreferences) below)

1. import the Java code template from http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/devtools/eclipse/4.x/prefs/CDM-Java-Code-Template.xml or http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/browser/trunk/devtools/eclipse/4.x/prefs/CDM-Java-Code-Template.xml  (see [Code Template section](http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/EclipsePreferencesforTeams#CodeTemplate) below)

## Plugins

The available software sites to be added to eclipse can be downloaded from here: http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/devtools/eclipse/4.x/prefs/prefs-available-software-sites.xml

Apply these setting by going to "Available Software Sites" in the eclipse preferences, click on import and browse to the location to where you downloaded @prefs-available-software-sites.xml@.

  1. Go to _File->Import->General->Remote Preferences->From URL_, paste this URL: http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/devtools/eclipse/4.x/prefs/prefs_remote_workspace_preferences.epf and hit "Finish".

  1. Restart eclipse and hit "Yes" to import the remote preferences. (If the dialog does not appear see the re-applying step below)

* To re-import/re-apply the preferences go to _File->Import->General->Remote Preferences->From configured URL_ which will now show all the applicable preferences files.

* Once the `prefs_remote_workspace_preferences.epf` file has changed you will need to paste the above URL again into the "From URL" text field.

### Code Template

1. Download the code template file from http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/devtools/eclipse/4.x/prefs/CDM-Java-Code-Template.xml  or http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/browser/trunk/devtools/eclipse/4.x/prefs/CDM-Java-Code-Template.xml
