[josm-dev] Loading JOSM+plugins into Eclipse for the first time.

[Ray Foulkes]

Hi Jan, thankyou, I do not know what I was doing wrong the first time
around. I did as you suggested and created a "java project" using the
sources in "core" - it all worked and runs the main program OK. I can
navigate the Java e.g. find declarations, references  and run the main
application. etc. BUT, I was trying to debug plugins...


When I tried to do the same thing after downloading
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/josm/ (which includes
all the plugins) and added the directory "josm" as a project, there are
many errors including some Java errors in the plugins which are "Eclipse
internal" errors. Also, I then cannot run the core application. I think
it is because of the directory in which the application is started does
not contain all the necessary files.  I do not know how to tell Eclipse
to default the startup directory to another directory.  My problem is
that I am trying to learn Eclipse at the same time as learning the code
of Josm.

I discovered that I can add plugins individually i.e. create a new
project and link it to "core" and at least compile the plugin even if I
cannot run it.

Anyway, thankyou for your response. I have at least been able to start
investigating the codes of JOSM.
