Execute typescript.java from sources

[micaelgallego]

I want to contribute (as least as beta tester) in typescript.java project.

I've downloaded a brand new eclipse distribution for plugin development. In concrete, I've downloaded "Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers 4.5.2".Then I've cloned the project and imported into Eclipse. But I get a lot of errors. What I'm doing wrong?

Try to import https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/tree/master/thirdparties/minimal-json

Thanks. Your advice reduce the compilation errors:

I still have the following errors:

Please install Eclipse JEE distribution Mars.

[micaelgallego]

I've installed "Web Tools Platform SDK (WTP SDK) 3.1.2" using the update site "http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates" and a lot of errors are gone.

But there are still problems in the projects:

• ts.eclipse.ide.server.nodejs.embed.linux.gtk.x86
• ts.eclipse.ide.server.nodejs.embed.linux.gtk.x86_64
• ts.eclipse.ide.server.nodejs.embed.macosx.cocoa.x86_64

The problems are:

• Project 'ts.eclipse.ide.server.nodejs.embed.linux.gtk.x86_64' is missing required source folder: 'src/'
• Project 'ts.eclipse.ide.server.nodejs.embed.linux.gtk.x86' is missing required source folder: 'src/'
• Project 'ts.eclipse.ide.server.nodejs.embed.macosx.cocoa.x86_64' is missing required source folder: 'src/'

Thank you for your help.

I've installed "Web Tools Platform SDK (WTP SDK) 3.1.2" using the update site "http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates" and a lot of errors are gone.

To clarify, typescript.java is based on JSDT Editor and WTP Validator. The most simply mean to have thoses plugins is to download "Eclipse JEE Distribution". But you will able to download light Eclipse distribution once the issue https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=488781 will be finished.

missing required source folder: 'src/'

I will add those folder to fix this error, but it's not a fatal error. You can ignore it. But in your workspace you need to import only the embed project according your OS (ex : import just ts.eclipse.ide.server.nodejs.embed.win32.win32.x86_64 if your OS is Windows 64 bits).

[micaelgallego]

Thank you for your help. Finally I have the source code without errors and can execute a Eclipse with TypeScript support.

[angelozerr]

Great! If you wish to do some (big) contribution, I think it should be cool if you could create issues in order to we disccuss it. If it's just to fix bugs, no need to create issue.

Please add too your name in the header of file that you will update.

Just one question, why do you wish to contribute to typescript.java although it exists eclipse-typescript, TypEcs which provide more features than typescript.java? Do you like the idea of JSDT Editor and tsserver?

Perfect. First I need to learn some eclipse plugin development. But I'll do my best ;)

The plugins you mention are not actively maintained right now. My main objective is develop Angular 2 applications with TypeScript in Eclipse, but these plugins are not working with Angular 2 (see axmor/typecs#94). You have done an awesome with Angular 1 and tern.js plugins, and you are actively working on the plugin right now, It seems a good place to colaborate ;). On the other hand, if typescript plugin is directly using tsserver, It is more likely to be updated. And I hope JSDT integration will be good for TypeScript editor.

At first you could create detailled issues in order to what you need (like tsc that I have started but not really usable)

The plugins you mention are not actively maintained right now.

That's shame -( And what about eclipse-typescript?

My main objective is develop Angular 2 applications with TypeScript in Eclipse,

Me too:) And I have doen the same integration like VSCode (to consume tsserver).

Thanks!

Cool!

On the other hand, if typescript plugin is directly using tsserver, It is more likely to be updated.

Exactly! You need not to compile a custom bridge like TypEcs and eclipse-typescript have done. By default typescript.java provides a default TypeScript, but you can override it.

I will try to update Wiki to explain more that.

And I hope JSDT integration will be good for TypeScript editor.

Since RedHat guys are re-worked about JSDT project, I think it's a good idea. RedHat guys are very opened, are working hard to improve JSDT. Eclipse Neon will provide awesome like npm, bower and will host my JSON Editor too https://github.com/angelozerr/eclipse-wtp-json
