[ome-devel] Importing source into eclipse

[Blazej Pindelski]

Thanks Curtis and Blazej,
Hi Ghislain,

Yes my version of eclipse comes with M2E, though it is called "import Maven Project".

When I select the location of the Bioformat GIT clone location, I get the following. It seems like I can select which projects I need. I am however unsure which one I should get to have the sources for the image readers and whatever constitutes the loci_tools.jar.
The projects you'd be interested in are formats-api, formats-bsd and formats-gpl (formats-common
contains helper classes used by the readers). The loci_tools.jar file is an indirect product
of compiling formats-api. More details can be found in "ant/toplevel.xml", where the targets
for the Ant build system are defined.

I also hope that http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/bio-formats5/developers/index.html
will help you to navigate the project tree.

Regards,
Blazej

Thanks again for the help

Hi Ghislain,

> Once the build finishes, you can follow the steps outlined

Note that those instructions are rather out of date now. If you use the "Eclipse IDE for Java developers" bundle of Kepler (4.3), it comes with the M2E plugin (i.e., Maven support).

Here is the table of which versions of Eclipse come with Maven support:
    http://eclipse.org/downloads/compare.php?release=kepler

You can also skip the "ant jars" and "mvn generate-sources" steps if you simply close the ome-xml project after importing Bio-Formats. (That project is the only one with a problem in Eclipse, since it generates most of its own source code.) Once ome-xml is closed, the other components should not show any errors.

Regards,
Curtis

Hi Ghislain,

Git is used to clone the code from the github repository at https://github.com/openmicroscopy/bioformats. There is an HTTPS clone URL.
This will give you a local copy of the Bioformats code.

To remove any post-import errors in Eclipse, I suggest you run "ant jars" and "mvn generate-sources" in your newly cloned
repository. Once the build finishes, you can follow the steps outlined in
https://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/bio-formats5/developers/developing-bf.html?highlight=eclipse.

I hope that helps.

Regards,
Blazej
