Warning
titleTrunk under construction

Currently, the state of the code in the trunk in SVN is under construction and can only be viewed, not built. The v5.2x branch can be built

Quick start for the impatient

  • Install Servoy Developer (same version as the version of the open source Servoy projects on which will be worked)
  • Run Servoy Developer and install the SQL Explorer plugin and close Servoy Developer again
  • Install an Eclipse distribution that contains the plugin development tools for Eclipse (PDE), for example Eclipse Classic
  • Setup a String Substitution variable named "servoy_install" which points to the installation directory of the previously installed Servoy Developer
  • Create a ClassPath variable named 'WEBSTART' that points to javaws.jar of the used JVM
  • Checkout the open source Servoy projects from https://subversion.servoy.com/product. Check out the version of the projects matching the previously installed Servoy Developer.
  • Setup a Target Platform by:
    • Opening the correct .target file, located in the targets directory of the "com.servoy.eclipse.core" project:
      • generic.target when running Eclipse and Servoy Developer both under either a 32 or 64 JVM OR
      • the .target file that matches the platform and JVM on which Servoy Developer runs. In this scenario, also add the JVM that Servoy Developer uses as Execution environment to the Eclipse installation and mark it as default.
    • Clicking the link "Set as Target Platform" of the Target editor
  • Create a Launch Configuration (and directly start a debug session) by right-clicking the "Servoy Launch.launch" file in the "target" directory of the "com.servoy.eclipse.core" project and selecting Debug as > Servoy Launch"

Before getting started: 32 or 64 bit installation

The easiest setup will be when both Servoy Developer and Eclipse operate under either 32 or 64 bit.

...

When mixing 32 and 64 bit, more configuration is required. This will be discussed under beta:Configuration > Setup the Target Platform.

Installing Servoy Developer

The installer for Servoy Developer can be downloaded after login in at http://www.servoy.com/download. It is important to download the version of Servoy that matches the version of the open source Servoy projects that will be worked on.

Running the installer will install Servoy Developer. For a more indepth description of installing Servoy Developer, see Installing Servoy Developer.

After installation, start Servoy Developer and install the SQL Explorer plugin and close Servoy developer again. See SQL Explorer integration for more information.

Installing Eclipse with the Eclipse plugin development tools

The open source Servoy projects are all plugins for the Eclipse environment, so in order to develop on one of the projects a Eclipse version with Eclipse plugin development tools (PDE) installed is required.

...

One of the offered distributions that includes PDE is the Eclipse Classic distribution. Although the plugin development tools can be installed in any Eclipse environment, the easiest is to download the 'Eclipse Classic' distribution and install it.

Configuration

Start the downloaded and installed Eclipse installation and choose or create a workspace in which the development on the open source projects of Servoy will take place.
