[kepler-dev] Re: [SDM-SPA] Setting up Eclipse to access the Kepler repository

[David Buttler]

Thanks for the pointer to your Eclipse page.  10 minutes earlier and I 
probably wouldn't have written anything, but there are still some 
differences/ new items.
I have attached a rough first cut on using Eclipse and Kepler together.  
I added a pointer to the Ptolemy page as well.

A couple of points:
1) Eclipse 3.0 M7+ has the capability to do SSH2, but requires a simple 
configuration option
2) I added an example of how to work-around non-standard code layouts 
and still get Eclipse to compile (i.e. the exp directory inside the src 
directory)  This can be fairly confusing and frustrating if you are not 
aware of the work-around.
3) Eclipse has reasonably good JUnit integration (Erich Gamma, the GoF 
member and JUnit developer, works for Eclipse)
