This page describes how to set up Eclipse to modify or add features of Prequips.
Required Eclipse Features
You will need the following Eclipse features to build and launch Prequips:
- Eclipse Project SDK 3.1.2 (download from http://www.eclipse.org or a mirror site)
- EMF SDK 2.1.2 (update site: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/updates/site.xml)
- Subclipse to access the Subversion repository (update site: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update/site.xml)
Getting the Eclipse Project SDK
Go to http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index_project.php and select Platform under Eclipse Project. On the next page select build 3.1.2, as of January 18th, 2006. Then select the *.zip or *.tar.gz archive for your platform. Once Eclipse Project 3.2.x becomes available we will test it and post instructions on how to use it to build Prequips. Until then it is not recommended to build Prequips with any releases from the 3.2.x branch.
Download the archive and extract it into a directory of your choice. Your Eclipse installation can live within that directory and there's no need to have administrator privileges to set up the software.
Installing Features From Within Eclipse
Once you have downloaded and set up the Eclipse Project SDK you can use the Eclipse Update Manager to add the other features. Simply go to Help > Software Updates > Find and Install .... Select Search for new features to install and then select New Remote Site .... Enter a name and the corresponding update site URLs. Then select the latest version of the feature and install.
Subversion Repository
Prequips source code can be retrieved from the Subversion repository located at http://db.systemsbiology.net/svn/ngehlenb. To browse the repository comfortably use http://db.systemsbiology.net/cgi-bin/ngehlenb-cgi/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi.
Access: The repository is no longer world-accessible. If you want to read from or write to the repository please contact Nils Gehlenborg.
Checking Out the Main Application
After you have installed the Subclipse plug-in go to Window > Open Perspective > Other ... and select SVN Repository Exploring. Right-click in the SVN Repository tab and go to New > Repository Location .... Enter the repository location shown in the previous section and click Finish.
A list of projects will show up in the view. Select the prequips_core project and right-click it. Select Checkout ... and then Check out as project configured using the New Project Wizard. Don't select the other option, it will get you into trouble when you try to build the project.
Click on Finish and then select Plug-in Project under Plug-in Development in the New Project Wizard. Enter prequips_core or something similar as project name and click Next. On the next page click Finish. All project settings will be imported from the repository. There is no need to enter anything.
Checking Out the prequips_external
prequips_external holds 3rd party libraries such as log4j and xerces. These libraries are needed by MSXMLParser
Open the SVN repository perspective again (Window -> Open Perspective -> Other -> SVN Repository Exploring)
Right click on prequips_external
Select Checkout
Select "Check out as a project in the workspace"
Select Finish
Add prequips_external to Java Build Path Libraries
Open the Java perspective (Window -> Open Perspective -> Java)
Right click on prequips_core
Select Build Path --> Configure Build Path
Select the "Libraries" tab in the new window
Select "Add Class folder"
Check prequips_external and then select "Okay"
Check out peptideXML and peptideXML.feature
Open the SVN repository perspective (Window -> Open Perspective -> Other -> SVN Repository Exploring)
Right click on peptideXML
Select "Checkout as a project configured using the New Project Wizard", then "finish"
Select "Plugin Project" from the New Project Wizard panel
Use "peptideXML" as the project name, then "Next", then "Finish"
In the SVN repository perspective, right click on peptideXML.feature
Select "Checkout as a project configured using the New Project Wizard"
In the New Project Wizard panel, open the Plug-in development folder, and select "Feature Project"
Enter peptideXML.feature as the Project Name and select "Finish"
Configure prequips.core to use peptideXML.feature
Return to the Java perspective
In the Package Explorer, select prequips.core's prequips.product
Select the Configuration tab
Select "Remove All" features
From the Eclipse IDE Project menu, select "clean all projects" and then "build all"
Return to the prequips.product Configuration tab
Select "Add" feature
Select peptideXML.feature then "OK"
Select the "Overview" tab of prequips.core
Under the section titled "Testing", select Synchronize
To check out prequips.feature
Open the SVN repository perspective again (Window -> Open Perspective -> Other -> SVN Repository Exploring)
Right click on prequips.feature
Select Checkout
Select "Check out as a project in the workspace"
[NLK: think this might need to be checked out similarly to peptideXML.feature checkout - as a New Feature Project...]
Select Finish
Lauch prequips_core
Right click on prequips_core
Select "Run As" and then "Run" to get the launch configuration menu
Select the Plug-ins tab
Under Workspace Plug-ins check the boxes to include any of the features that you checked out and configured (for example, peptideXML plugin)
Select "Add Required Plug-ins"
Select "Run"
