Issues Building Eclipse Plugin from Instructions #14

Open jriggins opened 9 years ago

jriggins commented 9 years ago

Now that #13 is fixed (thanks @keertip !), I am having new difficulties in building the editor plugin.

I'm trying to follow the instructions in the README. I'm able to run the setupDevWorkspace step. However I cannot run the next step successfully.

First I get:

BUILD FAILED
/Users/jriggins/src/java/dart-eclipse3/eclipse3/tools/features/com.google.dart.eclipse.feature_releng/build.xml:5: please create a jriggins.properties file in build-settings/ to config this build (see sample.properties)

Which is fine (however missing from the instructions). After creating a jriggins.properties file as such:

build.dir=${user.home}/src/java/dart-eclipse3/eclipse3/dart-build
source.dir=${user.home}/src/java/dart-eclipse3/eclipse3/tools

I get this failure:

BUILD FAILED
/Users/jriggins/src/java/dart-eclipse3/eclipse3/tools/features/com.google.dart.eclipse.feature_releng/build.xml:33: Source resource does not exist: /Users/jriggins/src/java/dart-eclipse3/tools/VERSION

It could be that my directory references are wrong however the only VERSION file in the code base is at:

<source-dir>/third_party/gsutil/VERSION

And its value is 3.42.

Should I create a VERSION file myself? Am I otherwise doing something wrong?

I forgot to ask, if I should instead consider using Eclipse with the RCP development plugins installed and working on the code in that fashion. If so, then having those instructions would be helpful.
