Setup Developement Environment

Install Eclipse SDK including necessary plugins

QPME is tested to run with Eclipse SDK 3.6.1. '''Attention:''' Eclipse SDK 3.6.2 is not supported due to Bug 339055 that prevents property pages from being updated correctly. You can download the Eclipse SDK 3.6.1 here.

Additionally you need to install following plug-ins:

• GEF SDK 3.6.1
  • Open "Help->Install New Software" in Eclipse
  • Choose Helios update site
  • Uncheck "Show only latest versions of available software"
  • Go to open category "Modeling" and select "Graphical Editing Framework GEF SDK" '''in Version 3.6.1'''
  • Start installation
• Subversive SVN Team Provider
  • Install it through the Helios update site. It resides in the category "Collaboration".
  • After restart a dialog should pop up to install a connector for SVN.
• Checkstyle Eclipse Plugin
  • Update site: http://eclipse-cs.sf.net/update/

Check out sources from SVN

• Download team project set file from here.
• Save file to disk.
• Import the file in eclipse by calling "File->Import...->Team->Team Project Set".
• ''Optional:'' For better clarity you can configure the Package Explorer to show project sets as top level element.

Run QPME

• Right-click on file "qpe.base/qpe.product" and call "Run as->Eclipse Application" in context menu.
• Troubleshooting: It might be necessary to update the dependencies. In this case open the file "qpe.base/qpe.product", navigate to page "Dependencies" and click button "Add required plug-ins".
