Install Eclipse


Goto Eclipse Downloads
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Download latest version of Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
(for my setup named eclipse-jee-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz)

I maintain all my dowloaded and active open source software in a folder in my home directory named share.So i unpack the tarred gzipped file into ~/share/eclipse

open up eclipse.ini and change some java startup configuration parameters:
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
to 
-Xms128m
-Xmx1024m
 
I added eclipse to my Programming folder in my Applications dropdown, but that is solely for my convenience.

At this time, you may start up eclipse

Download SVN project into new workspace


Close Eclipse

I first downloaded the cn_prototype directory via subversion on command line into the eclipse workspace directoy of choice. My personal choice is ~/Projects/Eclipse/CNPrototype

so I executed from my home directory:

svn co https://repository.dataone.org/software/cicore/trunk/cn_service/cn_prototype Projects/Eclipse/CNPrototype


Import Mvn Project


I then opened up eclipse, pointed to the CNPrototype directory as a new workspace.
Under 'Window' on the Menu bar, goto 'Show View' and select  Project Explorer.

Then go to 'File' on Menu bar and choose 'Import'
Select 'General', 'Maven Projects' and then 'Next >'

In Root Directory, click the Browse button and choose CNPrototype, then click 'Finish'.

It will take a while to import the Maven Projects, but at this time you should have 
DataONE-CnDomain
DataONE-CnPrototype
DataONE-CnRestService
and possibly others 

You should see the J and M next to the projects representing the Java and Maven decorators for the Projects.


Integrate SVN checkout with Team Eclipse

Right click on DataONE-CnDomain project.

Choose Team > Share Project ...

Under Select Repository type click SVN.

Immediately, Subversive Connectory Discovery window should popup.  click on SVN Kit 1.3.0 (unless a higher version is listed). Then click 'Finish'.\

And 'Install' window should then popup. Accept the defaults and click 'Next >' and then 'Next >'
Accept the software conditions and then click Finish.

A software error may popup, just ignore it. After updates are complete, Eclipse will ask if you want to restart, click 'Restart'.

So, Now you will have to Start over...

Right click on DataONE-CnDomain project.

Choose Team > Share Project ...

Under Select Repository type click SVN.

Hopefully, the project URL is already filled in and you just have to click 'Next >'
Type in your Username and Password and click 'Finish'

repeat for DataONE-CnPrototype and DataONE-CnRestService (except you will not have to provide username/passwd again)

You are now done.

But to use, you may wish to highlight each project, Goto Menu and select Project > Update All Maven Dependencies
