Steps to get a Compensator dev environment. [message #1694613]

Hello folks. I am quite interested in the compensator project, I want to start working on some development plugins and would prefer a pure Javafx eco-system. I am wondering if someone (Tom Very Happy

) could post the steps required to get the project building.

I am not an eclipse expert, though I am a backend dev and we develop OSGi using the PDE.

I am using mars m7 with the nightly runtime / ide.

I've spent some time (3 hours Sad

) trying to get the workspace to compile. I've checked out the "eclipse.platform.text" repo and fxeclipse repo and opened all the projects. I've tried the compensator target platform and added plugins from my local install where they were missing. (I did not know that I needed to checkout the eclipse.platform.text project till I found a post on this forum about it).

I closed random failing plugins not associated with compensator. I am still missing some stuff. Off the top of my head these namespaces are causing me the most problems:

org.eclipse.fx.ui.controls.stage.* and
org.eclipse.fx.code.server.jdt.shared.*

A step by step (at a high level) tutorial from a blank pref mars install would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Great to see someone being interested in this code ;-) - I've been
swamped with (e4/JavaFX) work so I could not pay enough attention to
compensator.

I've just opened my since then untouched workspace and saw that there's
a lot of code not pushed in the git-repo but because I'm starting to
work tomorrow / friday on it because i need to prepare (=add support for
xtext-DSLs).

I hope you can wait until Monday because as part of the work I'll also
try to put together an oomph setup so getting a mars-dev-env setup with
all projects, ... should be no more than a few clicks away ;-)

Hi Tom,

Ok Great, I will look forward to Monday.

I had a sneaking suspicion something was missing. but on the other hand I thought I might have missed a code generation step Very Happy

Hi,

Now things should compile if you set the compensator.target in the
workspace.

I have the following projects in my workspace:
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.additional.feature
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.app.feature
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.app.product
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.app.releng
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.jdt.runtime.feature
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.target.feature
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.target.releng
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.target.updatesite
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.xtext.runtime.feature
> org.eclipse.egit.github.core
> org.eclipse.fx.code.compensator.app

There are 2 projects not from e(fx)clipse-repo:
- org.eclipse.text
- org.eclipse.egit.github.core
