I want to install eclipse plugin Agilereview from following link:
https://github.com/AgileReview-Project/AgileReview-EclipsePlugin
I downloaded the zip and unzipped it. I added it in eclipse as project and many projects added into workspace. When I tried to select all those projects and export them as deploy-able plugins in eclipse repository, eclipse doesn't allow it and always show error like plugin file missing. A problem is the zip file include many folders and many of those folder has its own plugin.xml file. Therefore, I think this Agilereview plugin itself is a combination of many plugins. I am sure that plugin is okay and its my mistake to install it.
Can anyone tell me, what is the mistake I am doing while installation? I want to install this plugin manually since later I need to optimize it.
Each of the folders org.agilereview.xxx is a separate Eclipse project. So you should use 'Import > Existing Projects into Workspace' to import these projects.
Since there are pom.xml files it looks like you should use maven and tycho to build the code.
For building RCP applications and plugins like Agilereview, which itself is a combination of many projects, you can check out the following tutorial:
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseTycho/article.html
Eclipsetycho provides support for building eclipse components.
Install the maven eclipse tool, which will make your work easy.
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
This is a pretty complex process, so spend some time to learn from the tutorial.

So I am trying to do something slightly unusual.
I checked out a project using Tortoise SVN, and then I imported that project into Eclipse as a Java project, and I can build the project fine.
But I would much rather use Eclipse's Subversion plugin than Tortoise SVN to check in files, update, compare diff's etc.
So is there any way I hook that Java project back into SVN in Eclipse, and then be able to check in files etc through Eclipse.
Note that checking out the project again using Eclipse is not an option for a few different reasons.
Thanks.
Right click on the Project and select 'Team > Share Project...' to set up SVN on the project.
I imported my existing maven projects under eclipse.Once imported i found under Java Build Path > Source resource foulder is
excluded(i can see Excluded:**) from build and does not get copied under target > classes directory.
I can remove exclusion manually by selecting Excluded:** and then click Remove, But there are large numbers of projects. Is there
a setting in eclipse where i can do it one go ?
That's part of what Maven does when you let it generate your Eclipse project settings (via the eclipse:eclipse plugin/goal). It's quite misleading. However, if you have the m2e plugins installed into Eclipse it coordinates things correctly.
What's going on, as best as I can figure: Eclipse's built-in Java builder automatically copies non-Java files found on the build path to the output location (unless they're excluded as you see in your Build Path). Problem is, when Maven comes in the picture it, too, wants to copy resources during a build. So to keep the two builders from competing/interfering with each other, Maven instructs Eclipse to ignore resources so it (Maven) can manage copying them during a build.
m2e integrates into the Eclipse build process to do the Maven copying of those files, so if you configure the project as an m2e project things will "just work," both in Eclipse and if you build from a command line.
I don't know of a way to tell Maven to not configure the project this way. To be honest, that's just one of the reasons I prefer to not let Maven generate my Eclipse project files; I do a much better job of it and I totally control the specifics rather than relying on whatever the Maven eclipse developers think is best.
This is an old question, but I've been looking for the answer and I finally dug it up myself. According to the M2Eclipse FAQ the import intentionally excludes resources. This is because Maven performs special resource handling that includes filtering.
Let Maven do the building for you. Disable automatic building in Eclipse and never build your projects in Eclipse.
Sourceforge.net has a filter for Java projects, but I'm looking for a way to narrow them down to ones that are meant to be built in Eclipse.
Edit I'm using Eclipse Metrics and Omondo plug-ins to analyze open-source Java projects. I'm looking for a quick way to find Eclipse open-source projects that can build quickly in Eclipse, so I can use these tools on them for analysis.
I presume that a project that is "meant to be built in Eclipse" is one that has an Eclipse .project file and other stuff checked into the source repository.
First, checking in Eclipse-specific stuff can a bad idea because it is easy to include stuff (e.g. build pathnames, preferences) that are specific to the developer. You then get problems if there are multiple committers ...
Second, this should unnecessary. Most of the stuff in the .project file can be generated when you import the project. If that's not possible, then the project should provide instructions for setting up the buildpath etcetera. (Note that if the project uses Maven, this is all taken care of for you.)
Third, any project worth its salt will include build scripts of some kind that allow you to rebuild without using any IDE.
Finally, any project that only supports building using Eclipse is excluding the significant subset of developers who use other Java IDEs.
Note that neither Maven or Ant builds require Eclipse to work. Both of these build tools can run from the command line, or from other Java IDEs.
OK. I understand your requirements now. You don't actually care what the project is ... or that it is sound / worthwhile project. You just need it for testing your plugin. (I won't comment on the "validity" of doing this. It depends on what you hope to achieve.)
I suggest that you install the m2eclipse plugin and look for projects with a "pom.xml" file. The projects don't need to be eclipse specific. The m2eclipse plugin automatically creates the ".project", ".classpath" and so on based on the "pom.xml" file. There's no need to exclude any particular version control system, because the m2eclipse plugin can import Maven projects that you checked out from the command line.
I am quite new to Java and Eclipse.
I am trying to call some functions from the jpf library from a program that I am writing in Eclipse.
Can anyone help me load or install these libraries into my Eclipse project? The .zip files are here. If these are already in the Eclipse program or there is some better way to get them, can someone also post that answer in addition to how to load any arbitrary java library.
Thanks for the help.
The JPF project page, to which you already linked in your question, contains a section about setting up the Eclipse IDE for JPF projects. A more general webpage on how to add external jars to your eclipse project might be helpful as well
download desired jar in to your local machine - add those jar to your project using below
right click on your project - configure build path - libraries - add
external jars - browse downloaded jars - add
Download and extract jpf-bin-1.5.1.zip. In here, you will find one or more JAR files. Add them into your Eclipse project, under something like a "lib" folder. Right-click on the JAR files from there, then choose "Build Path" / "Add to Build Path".
Or better yet, investigate the use of Apache Maven, and let it handle all of the dependency resolution for you. (Per http://jpf.sourceforge.net/roadmap.html, this project is at least Maven-enabled.) At least the 1.5 version is also available from the central Maven repository at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/sf/jpf/jpf/. I don't see 1.5.1, but the jpf-bin-1.5.1.zip contains a "MAVEN.txt" that explains how to install it into a local Maven repository for use.
check how add libraries in eclipse.

Do any of the IDEs (or any other tool for that matter) have the ability to generate a POM based on an existing project?
I ended up generating the POM with a Maven archetype as Peter and Sal suggested and then moving the existing source in. Thanks for the help guys.
One way to do this it to create a template project via maven archetype then move your existing code to the template. I would recommend this only for really simple projects. It would work something like this.
mvn archetype:generate
mv src/* src/main/java
mv test/* src/test/java
mvn package
You'll get errors. To add the missing dependencies, go here: http://www.mvnrepository.com/ and start looking them up. If you pick an archetype close to what you need, you'll be half way there.
Once it all works.
svn commit -m "hacky maven port"
You can do this in IntelliJ, but the POM it generates may be more complex than if you write by hand. If your project is currently in JBuilder or Eclipse you can import this first.
Instead I would suggest you describe your project in a POM and use it to generate your project information. You can do this for eclipse and idea (and I assume other IDEs)
Your existing project probably does not use Maven, so creating a POM based on it isn't trivial.
The simplest way I can think of is to get the Maven plugin for Eclipse, generate a new maven project and then add your code.
You'll also need to manage external jars using Maven's method. In this case, they would probably be system jars.
In eclipse Galileo if you have the maven2 plugin you can select the project and then right click and go down to Maven2 in the context menu and there should be an option to convert the project to a maven project.
