[geclipse-dev] Amazon Webservices Integration

[Moritz Post <mpost@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hallo geclipse

Following yesterdays introduction of the Amazon EC2 integration into the 
geclipse framework, here are the installation/usage instructions. I hope 
these work for you and i would be happy to receive any feedback. 
Development takes place on java 1.6 but it "should" also work on 1.5. 
Further testing needed here.

== Installation ==

I assume you have a working geclipse env setup.
All the sources are located on cvs.fzk.de. The required plugins are:

eu.geclipse.aws.ec2
eu.geclipse.aws.ec2.ui
eu.geclipse.aws.ec2.test
com.xerox.amazonws

additionally you need the following plugins which can be obtained from 
the eclipse orbit project (cvs: dev.eclipse.org /cvsroot/tools/orbit)
(note the branches!)

javax.xml.bind, v2_0
org.apache.commons.codec_1.3.0, v200711021030
org.apache.commons.httpclient_3.1.0, v200712051435
org.apache.commons.logging_1.1.1, v200801030957

You might already have the apache commons plugins in your workspace though.

To simplify this process i have also attached a TeamProjectSet file onto 
this mail so that you can let eclipse do all the checkouts for you 
(Import -> TeamProjectSet).

== Usage ==

To get Started with the plugins you create a new geclipse project and 
select an AWS Vo as your domain. Next you can view a list of executable 
Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) under "YourAWSVo" -> Services -> Other 
Services (which asks for your AWS credentials) and choose "Start AMI" 
from the context menu of an entry.

I hope everything works out. Feedback is very welcome.

regards
Moritz Post
