Rascal Developers Setup Step by Step

Git setup

Some general git tips, and a few github specific tips.

• be sure to setup your name in git: git config --global user.name "Rascal Developer #42"
• be sure to setup your email address: git config --global user.email "[email protected]" (this should match one of the email addresses in your profile)
• use the ssh URLs, they are easier to use, especially in combination with public keys.
• make sure you use the ssh over port 443 tunneling trick this will assure you are able to access the repository anywhere :).

Clone Projects from github

The following projects should all reside in the same workspace which you use to develop Rascal:

• pdb
• pdb.ui
• pdb.values
• imp.runtime
• AmbiDexter
• rascal
• rascal-eclipse
• rascal-shell

Install Additional Dependencies

Afterwards there are still some dependencies that have to be installed as Eclipse plug-ins:

1. Go to the Eclipse Orbit project and select one of the latest stable releases. Say Orbit Build: R20120526062928 and then add the Orbit Build Repository to the Eclipse update sites.
2. Install Apache Commons Math,
3. Install Apache Commons Lang, and
4. Install JDOM.
5. Install Jetty from the Composite Jetty8 P2 repo.
