[DEV] Working with latest branch version

philnate edited this page Jan 23, 2013 · 1 revision

If you want to run the bleeding edge of meclipse or you want to test a certain branch of the repository, you have to follow those steps to get it working:

  • Include the Project into your eclipse, checking out whatever branch and commit you want to have
  • Make sure that you removed any previously installed meclipse version

If you have maven installed you can do the following, else please skip this section and resume with 2.

  • change into org.mongodb.meclipse.mavenbuild and execute mvn clean package ( This will mostlikely take some minutes as it will download several maven plugins and contact eclipse updatesites )
  • After the package finished you got the final p2 repository created into org.mongodb.meclipse.repository. Install the plugin through Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> Local -> org.mongodb.meclipse.repository/target/repository
  • right-click the project root and click export->Plugin-Development->deployable Plugins and Fragments
  • Select the MongoDB Plugin if not already selected and choose your eclipse Directory (usually /home/USERNAME/eclipse under linux). At the tab Options activate the checkbox Qualifier Replacement and set it to something you like, so you avoid to potentially keep multiple versions, which could cause problems or require more update actions.
  • Now you can click finish, after a Restart of eclipse you should be running the checked out version.
