Re: [pde-dev] PDE Dev Bootstrap

Hello David,

Thanks for showing interest in contributing
to PDE.

When checking out all, you would have
also get the tests projects in your workspace. These projects depend on
some test infrastructure projects which are not part of Eclipse SDK, hence
not in your target platform. For this reason, you must be getting hundreds
of compilation errors. 

I would recommend to start with smaller
set of projects. The PDE projects are managed currently inside number of
folders which you can locate inside PDE folder in the CVS repository. The
names are self-explanatory and shall lead you do the projects of your interest.
If you are unable to locate the plug-ins you are looking for, do revert
back. We will be glad to help.

regards,
Ankur..

Hi all-
I'm looking for instructions on getting up and running developing for
PDE, I found some instructions here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE/Contributor_Guide
however I had the
following experience when following them:

I downloaded Indigo M6a, added the CVS repo, I was unable to right
click on the file as no import was available so I downloaded
pde-all.psf then did File->Import and went from there.  It
successfully checked everything out.  At this point there were many
errors, I went and added a default API baseline, which removed a few
of the errors.  At this point Eclipse is telling me I have 529
remaining errors.

Any tips on resolving these would be great, or a pointer to
alternative instructions for getting productive on PDE.

Thanks,
David
