Source code Eclipse 3.3 [message #328227]

Dear all,

I'm trying to implement a Resource perspective in my Eclipse RCP
application. For this I need the source code for the org.eclipse.ui.ide
plugin to program my own plugin.

The problem is that I can check out the source code for the new 3.4
version of Eclipse (Ganymede). But there are a lot of changes in the
source code so that this plugin doesn't compile against the old plugins
from 3.3.

My question is: Where do I get the old source code from? Is there
somewhere a ZIP-file I can extract it from? Or can I check it out via CVS
from somewhere?

Thank you a lot in advance.

Christoph

Hi Christoph,

if you have installed an Eclipse SDK, you can open the plugins view
(PDE) and select the plugin that provides the necessary functionlity.

In the context menu of that plugin select Import as -> Source project.
Now you have the plugin in your local workspace including the source code.

Of course this works only if the source is also installed.

Hope this helps,
Dirk

There are tags in the CVS repository for the 3.3 releases, so you can
check out from the appropriate tag instead of from HEAD.
As an alternative, you could download the Eclipse for Plugin/RCP
Developers package, version 3.3 (which includes the source plugins),
install that and then configure your PDE preferences to use that as the
target environment.

Hope this helps,
Eric
