Re: [stellation-res] Prodlems attempting to run Stellation Eclipse Plugin
|
Hi Eric,
Unfortunately, the Stellation Eclipse client currently available from the
website does not work with the currently-posted Stellation server (and does
not build as currently checked into the CVS repository, as you discovered)
Sorry! :<
I'm working full-tilt on a new Eclipse client, which will hopefully be
available next month. I will update the site to make this clear.
There _is_ a functional command-line (CLI) version, which we are currently
using for developing our new Eclipse client, and for other development
work, and
the code for this is .... checked into the stellation.eclipse.org
repository (but not the public Eclipse CVS repository). It happened that
breaking changes were made to the CLI code earlier this year, and the
Eclipse GUI client was not updated. We've made the rather painful decision
to completely discard the original command-line client codebase (designed
and largely built before we migrated to Eclipse). Accordingly, I've built
and tested a new Eclipse-friendly Stellation 'client core', and am now
overhauling the UI part of the Stellation plugin. Once the UI Plugin
is working properly with the rest of our current codebase, we'll post new
drops.
If you're interested in helping us develop Stellation, we can certainly get
the code to you sooner. At present, we're not actively supporting the old
code base (since a chunk of it is going away).
Information about our current plans and activities is available on our Wiki
site.
Of particular note:
http://stellation.eclipse.org/twiki/bin/view/Stellation/EclipseClient
describes the "transitional" Eclipse client I'm working on now.
http://stellation.eclipse.org/twiki/bin/view/Stellation/CurrentPlans
describes our current plans.
Sorry for not responding sooner (I'm in heads-down coding mode at present).
And please, let us know if you're interested in getting involved (lots to do)!
Best,
Jim

Hello all,
I am attempting to run Stellation, when I do I get
the following problem.
!MESSAGE Plug-in org.eclipse.stellation.scm.ui was
unable to load class
org.eclipse.stellation.scm.ui.ScmUIPlugin.
!STACK 0
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.eclipse.stellation.scm.ui.ScmUIPlugin
I checked this out and its mostly becuase althought
there are classes in the relative *bin* dirs there are
no jar files built. I went in to try and build them
but there were two main problems.
1) The classpaths in the build file were off (in some
cases by quite a bit)
2) In some stellation plugins there were no build.xml
files to build with.
The first problem is pretty easy to correct (if
somewhat time comsuming) the second problem is
somewhat more difficult.
These problems exist in both 2.1.1 and 3.0M4. I used
the download at the stellation site.
