IDE Setup

We are using the ClientPE for development. To get started follow these steps:

1. Download the latest client-pe-software-\*.zip and client-pe-scripts-*.zip from \\de-file10\ClientPE\Releases

2. Choose a location for your project (e.g. C:\projects\cobigen) and extract the downloaded ZIP files via 7-Zip (Extract Here). Do not use the Winodws internal ZIP viewer to extract.

3. Create a file named variables-customized.bat in your project location with the following contents:

   set MAIN_BRANCH=master
   set SETTINGS_REL_PATH=tools-cobigen\ide-settings
   rem this is optional if you want to keep the maven repository in the default location
   set M2_REPO=%USERPROFILE%/.m2/repository

4. Create a new directory 'master' in 'workspaces' (workspaces\master\) and clone the git repositories into it.
   You should have a structure like this

   • conf

   • scripts

   • software

   • system

   • workspaces

     • master

       • tools-cobigen

         • ide-settings

         • …​

       • tools-cobigen.wiki

   • console.bat

   • …​

   • variables.bat

   • variables-customized.bat

5. Run the script create-or-update-workspace.bat

6. Run the newly created script eclipse-master.bat

7. In Eclipse select File > Import... > Import existing Maven Projects and then choose the cloned projects of cobigen from your workspace. Do not import the cobigen-eclipse* projects as maven projects. This is not possible due to the Manifest-first build approach of the eclipse plug-in. You might also not want to import all the parent pom projects as well…​

8. Now select File > Import... > Import existing Projects in category general and import the cobigen-eclipse* projects as normal eclipse projects. Their eclipse configuration is commited to git.
