[OSM-dev] I've committed a whole new set of mappaint icons - how do I compile the jar file?!?

[Ulf Lamping]

Hi!

I've recently committed a whole lot of missing icons for mappaint to 
svn. As I said before, icons for mappaint won't be scaled and anything 
larger than 16*16 pixel will just get in the way of mapping things - 
using the icons as currently existing is not an option here :-( So for 
the new icons I've tried to find a trade off between readability and the 
already existing icon sets. Some of the existing icons didn't scale well 
to this tiny size, I've tried to find some alternatives for it, which 
should be "readable". Please try out the new icons, by following the 
guidelines in 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/JOSM/Plugins/MapPaint to setup a 
new mappaint style - and PLEASE give feedback.


I would like to build a new mappaint.jar file (to include it into svn 
and also for some other experiments), but unfortunately my JAVA 
knowledge is a bit rusted (it's almost 10 years ago), and especially the 
build environment has completely changed since then.

The only information I could find (at 
http://josm.eigenheimstrasse.de/wiki/DevelopingPlugins) is describing a 
bit of the internas, but not how to set up a plugin build environment.

So what do I need? I guess: JAVA SDK and probably Eclipse? What do I 
have to start with?

Is there some step-by-step guide somewhere, so I can easily get my dev 
system up and running?
