SevNTU plugin for EclipseCS plugin compilation

1. I presume that all pages before this you already done, and you did changes to sevntu-checks and eclipsecs-sevntu-plugin projects.

2. Checkout latest tagged eclipse-cs “sources”:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/eclipse-cs/git eclipse-cs-git

2.1 Update before build (required for maven 3)
Need to checkout to 5.7.0 release commit.

cd eclipse-cs-git
git checkout 14bf325112d62de6aadffe0a21bf6415305b0e77

do update for net.sf.eclipsecs.parent/pom.xml :

3. Build

cd net.sf.eclipsecs.parent
mvn install

4. Compile SevNTU sources:

cd sevntu-checks
mvn install
cd ../
mvn clean install -f eclipse-pom.xml

result plugin jar is here :
/.m2/repository/com/github/sevntu/checkstyle/eclipsecs-sevntu-plugin/X.X.X/eclipsecs-sevntu-plugin_X.X.X.jar

If you need just to make sevntu-checkstyle projects compilable – that’s all, you don’t need to proceed further. All further steps are necessary for deployment of new sevntu-checkstyle version.

5. save all your changes in remote just in case.

git status
git add .
git commit -m "version was bumped to X.X.X"
git push

6.Do test deploy by scripts to test that all works fine:

./deploy.sh --eclipse-cs
./deploy.sh --maven

7. Copy eclipsecs-sevntu-plugin_X.X.X.jar to Eclipse folder instead of existing jar
Copy sevntu.checkstyle/gh-pages/update-site/plugins/eclipsecs-sevntu-plugin_X.X.X.jar to {ECLIPSE_HOME}/plugins/eclipsecs-sevntu-plugin_X.X.X.jar, launch Eclipse and test your checks from Eclipse. If no problem is found send eclipsecs-sevntu-plugin_X.X.X.jar your mentor for review and testing.

8. Test your version of plugin in Eclipse – manual , create configuration with only your Check, import required projects for testing, do not forget recheck that EclipseCS is activated on them in project properties.

9. Test your build yourself on Opensource projects: how to

Alternative way to create JAR for testing:

1. To create Plugin jar

Select project “eclipsecs-sevntu-plugin”, in context menu “Export → Plug-in Deployment/Deployable plug-ins and fragments”. Press “Next” . Provide Destination Directory. Press “Finish”.

2. Add plugin to eclipse

Result jar – eclipsecs-sevntu-plugin_X.X.X.jar. Should be copied to /pligins. Launch Eclipse. Select menu – Window – Preferences → Checkstyle. Select Configuration and press “Configure”. In list of groups will be “SevNTU checks”. Enjoy.
