Eclipse

Under construction... Please consult Tutorial 3.
  1. Don't forget to add the following line to your startup script:
    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /local/lib/eclipse
    
  2. If you want to use your own plugin, to avoid contention with other's work, this is a better way to create a symbolic link to the common plugins:
            mkdir ~/eclipse
            cd ~/eclipse
            ln -s /local/lib/eclipse/* .
            rm plugins
            mkdir plugins
            cd plugins
            ln -s /local/lib/eclipse/plugins/* .
    
    Now you can replace the symbolic link to your modified plugin, or add a new plugin on your own directory.
  3. After that, you can save your plugin to the
            ~/eclipse/plugins directory
    
    In addition, you need now to run eclipse from
            ~/eclipse/eclipse
    
  4. You may take a look at the org.eclipse.ui.editors plugin to learn how Eclipse editor works. The CVS repository locates at:
    	-d:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/home/eclipse
    
    In Eclipse, open "Versions", "org.eclipse.ui.editors", and "org.eclipse.ui.editors R3_0" consequently. You shall be able to "Checkout" the source code as your project.
