Scripting Environment Setup: I can't get it right!!

[Edo Frohlich]

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a Scripting Environment as explained in the Wiki.
(Win 10)
1. I installed Eclipse (java developer version)
2. installed OpenJDK 14
3. crated the system variables JAVA_HOME and its path for the JDK to work
4. created a folder as workspace for Eclise : "FreeplaneScripts"

Then I tried to follow the steps in the Wiki:
https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Scripting_environment_setup#How_to_set_up_your_environment_with_the_Eclipse_Plug-ins_for_Gradle

I'm not clear with the first point. I tried diferent configurations and I got errors when running the next steps.
it says:

1. Download freeplane_src-x.x.x.tar.gz and extract to a directory freeplane_src in the directory for your Eclipse workspace

I use 7-zip to extract the file. I had to extract it twice. First I got a freeplane_src-x.x.x.tar file, and then I extracted this and got the folders, subfolders and files.

but when extracting it I don't know how the final path has to look like:

• .../FreeplaneScripts/freeplane_src/freeplane-1.8.2/[subfolders and files]
• .../FreeplaneScripts/freeplane_src/freeplane_src/freeplane-1.8.2/[subfolders and files]
• .../FreeplaneScripts/freeplane_src/freeplane_src/[subfolders and files]
• .../FreeplaneScripts/freeplane_src/[subfolders and files]
• .../FreeplaneScripts/freeplane-1.8.2/[subfolders and files]

and when dooing the Graddle steps I get different errors or when not, I get the error s when trying to run the *.launch file

please help!!

Hi Edo,

try this:

• Create freeplane_src by extracting the Freeplane source archive
• Import that into Freeplane as described.
• Create a folder for your scripts: freeplane_src/FreeplaneScripts
• Put your scripts into that folder
• Create a new Eclipse project for your scripts. I'm not completely sure which type it has to be as I use Intellij
