Eclipse Plugin Developer Build instructions

Follow these steps to download and install the plugin source code in your Eclipse 3.4 plugin development environment. These steps are for Plugin Developers. This page is NOT for people who simply want to use the plugin.

1. Make sure you have the mininum requirements for Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede plugin development.
   • an installed version of Eclipse 3.4
   • a subversion compatible plugin ( I prefer Subversive )
2. Create a new SVN project
   • File Menu, New, Project...
   • You should see the New Project wizard
   • There should be an SVN folder
   • There will be one option under the SVN folder: Projects from SVN
   • Select Projects from SVN and click Next
   • Fill in the SVN connection information
     • the URL for this project is: https://xqueryeclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xqueryeclipse
     • You may use anonymous login for read only access
     • Contributers use your sourceforge username and pass
   • Once the connection is established, select the trunk
   • Check out as a new project to the workspace
     • You will not need to use the new project wizard to create the project because there is already a .project and .classpath file
3. Run it
   • Right-click on the project you have just created in the Project Explorer
   • Choose to Run As an Eclipse Application
4. Try it out - there's a little 'Q' in the toolbar that runs xquery files and a right-click on an xquery file in the Project Explorer will have a menu item "XQuery" with an option to run the xquery. I'll upload screenshots and documentation on playing with some simple xquery samples as soon as i can.
