Newbie: how te set up a minimal build [message #49134] Thu, 13 March 2003 20:47 Go to next message

Just starting out with eclipse and have sucessfully downloaded and built the
source, built, run, debugged, and modified a new simple plugin and
everything is good so far.

Now I'd like to build a version with just the very minimum feature set that
will launch, so that we can then add on pieces from there as needed. I tried
a brute force approach but that quickly led to problems. We want to use
eclipse for a new specialized development platform that will have the
concept of projects and resources, will be editing files and have a number
of other views.

I know I'm lacking knowledge in many areas, but could someone push me in the
right direction on this one? Perhaps pointing to the apporpriate
documentation (which I have tried to search for before posting theis, of
course)

Thanks for any help,

Dirk

Here's an easy way to get a basic platform.

1) Start with an empty Eclipse workspace
2) File > Import > External plugins and fragments
3) Next... Next...
4) Select org.eclipse.ui from the list
5) Click "Add required plugins"

The selected set of plugins provides a basic platform with views,
editors, resources, but no specific tooling/programming support. From
there you can try cutting down further, or add back plugins that you may
need.
