best way to add habmin2 when running from eclipse? #130

Hi, I am trying to use habmin2 binding in a development installation (running from eclipse). What is the best way to achieve this?

The easiest way, if you don't want to import the source is just to import the JAR (using File | import menu in Eclipse).

azim0ff commented 8 years ago

Which option should be chosen? General/File_System? If I do that, it wants to add it (jar file) to an already existing project.

Good question. I'd need to take a look later as I don't have Eclipse here.

azim0ff commented 8 years ago

Ok. Just out of curiosity - you don't use eclipse for developing?

cdjackson commented 8 years ago

Yes, I use Eclipse for Java development, but not Javascript/web development.

When I said 'I don't have Eclipse here', I just meant right this very minute as I'm not sitting in front of my development environment and am answering on my phone...

So I just tested this using the "Archive File" option, and then just selecting a folder (I think I chose infrustructure which just contains the configuration etc anyway).

Thank you for looking into this. I followed your method with a small modification. I created a dummy project - empty directory with a .project file, then imported this empty project into OH2 Add-ons. Into this new project, I Import/Archive_File the habmin .jar file. After enabling habmin bundle in the run config I am now able to use it from within eclipse. Thanks again!
