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 JavaScript
  • 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)
    • Review the eclipse scripts to save/restore eclipse settings, it's nasty - keep looking for better ways to share settings across installations
    • 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/* .
  • 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.
  • To view/change customized keys:

Eclipse ToDo.txt macros
Set up two PracticallyMacro macros, tdw and tda.

tdw (ToDo: Go To Working)

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
  • To set bookmarks in a file, you MUST open it via the Navigator / Project explorer. Drag/drop to IDE will disable bookmarking (doh!!).
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.
