development environment setup issues

[christoph]

Hi together,

I really think mtg forge is an awesome piece of software and I really would like to participate in its development.
So, I just worked through the wiki how-to setting up the eclipse environment. Actually it looks quite good, but im having two issues:

- If i click run as on the forge project it doesn't give me the option "run as java application" as it says in the how-to.
- Also the "go to declaration" feature (f3) fails with : "Problems opening an editor: Reason forge-TRUNK does not exist"

Does anyone know a solution for these problems? That would be highly appreciated.
Also i would like to know what's the best way to get into the card scripting meta language? The wiki article doesn't really clear it up for me.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Christoph

You need to run Main.java in forge-gui-desktop as a Java Application. To run the mobile app, you can run Main.java in forge-gui-mobile-dev as a Java Application. Setting up Run Configurations in advance helps, since just clicking the Run or Debug buttons works off of whatever module is associated with the currently active file, which will often be neither of these modules.

Hope that helps.
