why are source files zipped ... [message #98097] Mon, 29 August 2005 00:33 Go to next message

Hello,

Although not completely new to Java, I am new to Eclipse. I would like
to study some of the Eclipse source code, while analyzing its
architecture. After downloading the latest version, i found that the
source code, such as in the the following folder is stored in a zipped file.

C:\apps\eclipse-SDK-3.1-win32\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.rc p.source.win32.win32.x86_3.1.0\src\org.eclipse.swt.win32.win 32.x86_3.1.0

Is there a particular reason why this is so? Can i navigate the source
code from within Eclipse without first unzipping it ...


appreciating your response,

Daniel

Yes you can navigate the source code within Eclipse. Start Eclipse and open
the Plug-in Perspective. There is a second tab Plug-ins on the left side.
This tab provides a list of all installed plug-ins. Click with the right
mouse button on a plug-in and select "Import" -> "Import as binary plug-in".
This action creates a new project in your workspace that links to the
imported plug-in. There you can browse the source code.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
That is a very useful tip, but after I have finished browsing the source code, how do I reinstate the plug-in to be external? Can I just remove the new project from my workspace, and Eclipse will revert to external at the next restart?

Best regards,
David.

Yes, just remove the project from the workspace directory. The project
contains only a reference to the original source code in the
plugins-directory. You don't have to restart Eclipse after removing the
project from the workspace.

Kind regards,
Daniel

What do you mean with Eclipse core? I've read somewhere the philosophy of
Eclipse is "everything is a plug-in". In my plug-in development workspace I
can import every plug-in, even Eclipse core.

Eclipse Core (org.eclipse.core.* - plug-ins)
Eclipse UI (org.eclipse.ui.* - plug-ins)
OSGi Runtime (org.eclipse.osgi.* - plug-ins)

The Eclipse launcher is not a plug-in. But it is only needed to start the
runtime system with a plug-in that contains an application extension. For
more information on this look at the RCP (Rich Client Platform) project. The
source code for the Eclipse launcher can be found in the Eclipse CVS.

Kind regards,
Daniel
