[autrealm-devel] How to access the Subversion repository

[Chris S. <cd...@tw...>]

Hi Chelsea,

I'm checking if the mailing list is working, and sending instructions on 
using Subversion at the same time.  Here we go.

You should delete any AutumnsRealm project you've already got first.  Then 
you will need to install the Subclipse plugin for Eclipse, which lets you 
get to the source code in the Subversion repository.

1. Start Eclipse
2. From the menu bar, choose Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install...
3. Select "Search for new features to install", and click Next.
4. Click "New Remore Site..."
5. Enter a name of "Subclipse update site" and a URL of
   http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.0.x, and click OK.
6. Be sure that "Subclipse update site" is check, then click Finish.
7. Agree to everything and check all options during the rest of the install.
8. Eclipse will want to restart.  Say yes.

Then, when Eclipse restarts, you'll need to add a repository configuration.

9. From the menu bar, Window -> Show View -> Other...
10. In the SVN folder, choose "SVN Repository" and click OK.
11. In the SVN Repository View, right-click, then New -> Repository 
Location...
12. Enter a URL of https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/autrealm
13. Click Finish.

Now you should see a new repository in the SVN Repository view.  The next 
step is to actually get the code.

14. Expand the new repository (click the + sign)
15. Right-click on AutumnsRealm, and choose Checkout...
16. On the dialog, choose "Check out as a project in the workspace"
    Accept AutumnsRealm as the project name.  Click Finish.

You should then have the project appear in "Package Explorer".  You might 
have to create a new run configuration in order to run it...

17. From the menu bar, choose Run -> Run...
18. Select "Wireless Toolkit Emulator" and click the icon on the top left 
showing a blank paper with a plus sign.
19. Ensure that the "Project" entry says "AutumnsRealm".
20.  Click the "Run" button at the bottom.

With any luck, the game should now start.  From here on out, you can run the 
game simply by choosing the run configuration that you've already created. 
You can get the latest code by right-clicking on the project (the top-level 
tree item that says AutumnsRealm), and choosing Team -> Update.

If you make changes and want to send them to me, the easiest way is with a 
patch.  Just start writing an email (either to me or this mailing list), and 
then do the following:

1. Right-click on the project (AutumnsRealm).
2. Choose Team -> Create Patch...
3. Pick "Save to Clipboard" and click Next.
4. Leave "Recurse into sub-folders" checked, and click Finish.
5. If a list of folders appears, click "Deselect All", and then OK.
6. Go back to your email program, and click Edit -> Paste to paste the patch 
into the email.

Hope that's clear.  Give me a call if it isn't or if you run into problems. 
Or get Dad to help you.
