#Eclipse how to install subversive svn connectors update#

It still needs some drivers, only available from an external update site.

However, due to licensing reasons, only part of the plugin is available on the Ganymede Update Site. I use the former, because it is part of the Ganymede project. There are currently two similar plugins available - 'subversive' and 'subclipse'. To access the AVR Eclipse SVN source repository Eclipse needs an SVN Plugin. Follow the dialogs, but a restart is not yet required (you can install the other plugins first) It can be installed by selecting Eclipse C/C++ Development Platform and Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools from the Ganymede Update Site and then clicking on the 'Install.' Button in the top right corner. You could edit and build the plugin without CDT, but it is required to test and debug the plugin.

Once Eclipse is started select Software Updates from the Help menu to install the other required plugins. Select a place for the workspace where the plugin source project will later be stored. Once you have downloaded the package, unzip it somewhere and run Eclipse. This package contains everything you will need to work on the plugin, incl. Unless you already have an Eclipse installation you want to use for working on the plugin, it is probably best to download the Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers from the Eclipse download center. PDE is a collection of tools to develop plugins. Please skip ahead if you already have some or all of these plugins installed. But there are a few plugins required to do this. It is not enough to build the plugin itself, as some files required for the build process are only available on the project SVN repository.ĭevelopment work for the AVR Eclipse Plugin is - of course - done in Eclipse. Please note that while the prebuild plugin includes the source code, this is only to for debugging and to satisfy the requirements of the GPL. Contact me if you need links to some starting points. Maybe I will write an article on this sometime in the future, but for now you need to familiarize yourself. For this you need to have a good understanding of Java and should be familiar with both Eclipse plugins in general and specifically CDT plugins. However they do not explain how the plugin works. These steps should be self explanatory and assume very little knowledge of Eclipse. The following is a step-by-step instruction on how to download, build, debug and deploy the plugin.
