Source code Forking and building

Cloning the repository

Zaluum is hosted on GitHub

mkdir zaluum
git://github.com/zaluum/ide.git
cd ide
git checkout devel	

Zaluum uses git submodules to track some dependencies

git submodule init
git submodule update

Preparing the Eclipse IDE

1. Install Eclipse 3.7.1 Get it »
2. Install Scala Eclipse plugin 2.0 for Scala 2.9.1 Get it »
3. Fetch the eclipse repository locally

   cd zaluum
   mkdir zaluum-third
   cd zaluum-third
   

   If you plan to build executables, it's faster to mirror the entire Eclipse 3.7 site.

   ECLIPSE=/home/user/path-to-eclipse3.7/eclipse ../ide/build-mvn/mirrorp2-3.7.sh

   Else, fetch only required dependencies

   ECLIPSE=/home/user/path-to-eclipse3.7/eclipse ../ide/build-mvn/fetch.sh

4. Switch to a new workspace directory. A sibling of zaluum/ide where you cloned the repo. e.g. zaluum/workspace
5. Import the following projects: JChart2D nide nide-feature nide-protobuf org.eclipse.jdt.core // XXX inside groovy runtime targetplatform
6. The first build fails. Stop it. Open targetplatform/zaluum.target and click set as target plaform XXX local. If an API baseline error shows up, Quick fix it with Ctrl F1 and disable Missing API baseline error, and rebuild.
