Re: [pde-dev] PDE Dev Bootstrap

[Curtis Windatt <Curtis_Windatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A few additional suggestions/questions:

1) Instead of using pde-all.psf, try
pde-ui-basic.psf.  It has a much smaller set of projects.  The
test plug-in is still included, which requires org.eclipse.test.performance
(and o.e.t.p.win32 if on windows).  You could also close or delete
the test project if you don't plan on working on or running our test suite.

2) What did you set at the default baseline?
 It should be a Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) release.  An alternative
would be to remove your current baseline and at the bottom of the preference
page, change the missing api baseline severity to ignore.  You would
not get the benefits of API Tooling, but that it probably ok for your case.

3) What kind of errors remain?

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
