Installing Prime

Prime is implemented as an Eclipse plugin. It can either be ran from within Eclipse, or as a stand-alone command-line tool.

Prerequisites

• Eclipse 3.6 with PDE or Eclipse 3.7 PDE.
• Some sort of Subversion client, e.g. Eclipse's Subclipse plugin.

Download Prime

Check out the "State" branch of Prime: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/priming/code-0/branches/State

Download the PPA plugin

How to obtain the PPA plugin projects

The PPA projects can be downloaded from https://bitbucket.org/barthe/ppa/downloads
In addition, in order to build it, a log4j bundle must be downloaded. One is provided alongside the Prime repository.

Fix for Eclipse 3.7

There was a typo in a class and interface in Eclipse 3.6, which was fixed in 3.7. PPA uses that class, so in order for it to work with Eclipse 3.7 you need to fix all occurrences of that class/interface accordingly:

INameEnviromentWithProgress  ->  INameEnvironmentWithProgress
NameEnviromentWithProgress   ->  NameEnvironmentWithProgress

These occurrences appear in the class org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.PPACompilationUnitResolver, in the project ca.mcgill.cs.swevo.ppa. This fix is not required when using Eclipse 3.6.

Fix to enable timeouts / cancel requests

PPA will not respond to timeouts or cancel requests; to enable it to respond to them, the following modification should be made:
File: org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.PPABindingUtil
Method: public static boolean isUnknownType(ITypeBinding typeBinding) - it appears around line 1050
Insert at start of method:

if (Thread.interrupted()) {
    Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
    throw new RuntimeException(new InterruptedException());
}
