Eclipse plugin for Bazel (Highly experimental)

Current status

This project is unmaintained. See https://github.com/salesforce/bazel-eclipse for the current Eclipse Feature for developing projects in Eclipse.

Overview

e4b is an Eclipse plugin for Bazel. It is really rudimentary. It simply supports creating the classpath from a project and using Bazel for incremental builds.

You can create a new Bazel project with New project > Import Bazel project Then you can select the list of targets you want to build and the list of directories you want to track.

It is highly experimental and support is minimal. However, we are happy to accept contribution to make this support grows to a better shape.

Installation

This plugin was tested with Eclipse Mars (4.5) but should also work with Eclipse Neon (4.6).

• Start Eclipse
• Select "Help" > "Install Software"
• Add the update site https://eclipse.bazel.build/updatesite.
