| Eclipse Mars installation
|
We always want these: CDT, PDT, WTP (Web Tools Platform, includes JSTP for Javascript support)
- Go to Eclipse Installer and install one of the big ones (avoid the installer)
- PDT is good but there are instructions below to bolt on any of the three - so anything goes with your starting choice
- install into development/eclipse folder (be careful not to install to eclipse/eclipse, if so just move and fix eclipse.ini)
- Run and select this as the default workspace, do not prompt again: /home/m/development/eclipse-workspace
- Install PDT
- Install WTP
- Install CDT
- Close eclipse and update the settings folder to point to the common shared location (make sure the development/config repo is available)
- use shared eclipse settings, to avoid problems like this.
cd ~/development/eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
ln -fs /home/m/development/config/common/home/m/development/eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/* .
- put ~m/development/eclipse/eclipse.ini into config
- Import all the existing projects that you need (A better Trader, Hang The DJ, etc.). You can import existing projects from ~/development, easy peasey!
- Install the terminal plugin so you can run CI right in eclipse. Just drag the "install" button there to the eclipse toolbar.

| Eclipse settings for all portable C++ boost projects
|
- Set up .bashrc with my standard ENV vars for boost, c++ (and use notes there to build latest boost, if needed)
- Set up build-Debug and build-Release folders via bootstrap force [debug|release], then configure build configurations for them both
- Configure the project according to these Eclipse project configuration screenshots
|
| Eclipse annoyances
|
- To get problems to reset on build, I had to turn on (for all configs, then exit/restart): Project->Properties->C++ Build->Settings->Error Parsers-> [x] GNU gmake Error Parser 7
- Click only ERRORS on Annotations dropdown arrow to bypass noise - I still can't get Ctrl-[,|.] to navigate errors, insanity

| eclipse java project layout format
|
Eclipse uses a workspace which holds projects. Java apps written with Eclipse are organized as follows:
- Eclipse workspace (can also be the top version-control folder)
- project folder (typically one "app" that you can "run")
- package(s) (named something like "com.developer.project.application")
- classes (each class is contained in one file)

| eclipse new project from existing code
|
You can set up a new project without specifying anything about it, just to browse the code.
File->New Project->Empty
Name: bbby2e05
Location: c:\
[ ] Create subdir
---
Show all files
select everything in include, rc->include in project
repeat for src
dont worry about mak or install folders for now, just add files later as needed
save all
---
then set up a repo for it!
cd c:\bbb2e05
git init (plus add cpp c hpp h, commit, set up daily, sync on bitpost)
|
It is also possible to set up a C++ makefile or PHP project from existing code.
(rclick projects area)->New->Project...->C++->Makefile Project with existing code
(name it and make sure Show all files is selected)

General Usage
- To set bookmarks in a file, you MUST open it via the Navigator / Project explorer. Drag/drop to IDE will disable bookmarking (doh!!).
- My customized keys
Alt+Shift+A block select
Shift+Ctrl+k customize keys even further! :-)
Install and configure
- Install PHP ("PDT"), Java and C++ ("CDT") environments, they each have something worthwhile.
- Select Visual Studio keys
- Set up automatic refresh:
Preferences > General > Startup and shutdown > Refresh workspace on startup
Preferences > General > Workspace > Refresh automatically
