Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Hello everybody,

I'm really enjoying playing Forge and I'm really willing to give my support to improve it. I've an old background about Java, but I did'nt used it since 1999, so I would like to know if someone could make a nice tutorial which would describe how to install and configure the necessary tool needed to compile Forge.

I will really apprciate it and many others I'm sure.

Best Regards,
Mikael

1. Get eclipse >
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers > eclipse.org
2. Get subclipse plugin > subclipse.tigris.org
3. Optional Find Bugs plugin (static automated check for common Java programming errors) > indbugs.sourceforge.net
4. Set up a new SVN project from Eclipse and use this url http://cardforge.googlecode.com/svn/src/ use https if you have commiter rights
5. Right click build/forge.jardesc to create a jar or set up a launch configuration using forge.Gui_NewGame as your main class

Eclipse uses an internal compiler independent from Sun (Oracle) compiler so you only need jre compared to a similar setup with netbeans which needs jdk.

Here are a few links for you to read. There is no in-depth tutorial at this time.
