_Within your locally cloned `spring-framework` working directory:_
|
_When instructed to execute `./gradlew` from the command line, be sure to execute it within your locally cloned `spring-framework` working directory._
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Precompile `spring-oxm` with `./gradlew :spring-oxm:compileTestJava`
|
1. Ensure that Eclipse launches with JDK 8.
|
||||||
2. Import into Eclipse (File -> Import -> Gradle -> Existing Gradle Project -> Navigate
|
- For example, on Mac OS this can be configured in the `Info.plist` file located in the `Contents` folder of the installed Eclipse or STS application (e.g., the `Eclipse.app` file).
|
||||||
to directory -> Select Finish)
|
1. Install the [Kotlin Plugin for Eclipse](http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/kotlin-plugin-eclipse) in Eclipse.
|
||||||
3. If prompted, exclude the `spring-aspects` module (or after the import by closing or
|
1. Install the [Eclipse Groovy Development Tools](https://github.com/groovy/groovy-eclipse/wiki) in Eclipse.
|
||||||
deleting the project)
|
1. Switch to Groovy 2.5 (Preferences -> Groovy -> Compiler -> Switch to 2.5...) in Eclipse.
|
||||||
4. In the `spring-oxm` project, add the `jaxb` folder in
|
1. Change the _Forbidden reference (access rule)_ in Eclipse from Error to Warning
|
||||||
`build/generated-sources` to the build path (right click on them and select
|
(Preferences -> Java -> Compiler -> Errors/Warnings -> Deprecated and restricted API -> Forbidden reference (access rule)).
|
||||||
`Build Path -> Use as Source Folder`)
|
1. Optionally install the [AspectJ Development Tools](https://www.eclipse.org/ajdt/downloads/) (_AJDT_) if you need to work with the `spring-aspects` project.
|
||||||
5. To apply project specific settings run `./gradlew eclipseBuildship`
|
1. Optionally install the [TestNG plugin](https://testng.org/doc/eclipse.html) in Eclipse if you need to execute TestNG tests in the `spring-test` module.
|
||||||
7. Code away
|
1. Build `spring-oxm` from the command line with `./gradlew :spring-oxm:check`.
|
||||||
|
1. To apply project specific settings, run `./gradlew eclipseBuildship` from the command line.
|
||||||
|
1. Import into Eclipse (File -> Import -> Gradle -> Existing Gradle Project -> Navigate to the locally cloned `spring-framework` directory -> Select Finish).
|
||||||
|
- If you have not installed AJDT, exclude the `spring-aspects` project from the import, if prompted, or close it after the import.
|
||||||
|
- If you run into errors during the import, you may need to set the _Java home_ for Gradle Buildship to the location of your JDK 8 installation in Eclipse (Preferences -> Gradle -> Java home).
|
||||||
|
1. If you need to execute JAXB-related tests in the `spring-oxm` project and wish to have the generated sources available, add the `build/generated-sources/jaxb` folder to the build path (right click on the `jaxb` folder and select `Build Path -> Use as Source Folder`).
|
||||||
|
- If you do not see the `build` folder in the `spring-oxm` project, ensure that the "Gradle build folder" is not filtered out from the view. This setting is available under "Filters" in the configuration of the Package Explorer (available by clicking on the small downward facing arrow in the upper right corner of the Package Explorer).

||||||
|
1. Code away!
