How to Get Started Developing Forge - the wiki

[Chris H.]

I downloaded Subversion from CollabNet.

Did Dave and Slapshot download Subversion from CollabNet or do you remember getting it from elsewhere?

What about those of you who use windows or *nix. Where did you get it from?

When installing Subclipse, I check the options for the SVNKit instead of the JavaHL. Worked equally on Windows and Linux.

i installed it via Cygwin's setup.exe. it's not for everyone.

edit: but i don't think subclipse uses that, because otherwise i'd have to run Eclipse from a Cygwin bash window. . .

I use Macports. It is not for everyone either

[Chris H.]

Well, I spent in all probability too much time trying to put together a simple install section. I wanted to remove Subversion from my .opt folder and from there re-install Eclipse+Maven+Subclipse+Subversion from the start to get some first hand experience.

I downloaded the newest version of Subversion from CollabNet. But the latest version will only install on the Snow Leopard OS and refuses to install on the new Lion OS. Sigh. Kinda kills my plans.

I installed Subversion v1.6.6 from CollabNet several years ago, I was most likely running the Tiger or Leopard OS at the time. This old version of Subversion is still running on my updated OS but it will not re-install. I imagine that CollabNet will release a Lion compatible update at some point in the future.

The Subversion download is a package type of installer. It is unlikely that it could be installed from within Eclipse on a Mac.

So, in hind sight it appears that I will not be able to redo the entire install section on the wiki. Sorry folks.

can you use JavaHL for Subclipse?

`
I'm unsure if I have that option on a Mac. Kinda of explains why I'm curious to see how Dave and Slapshot installed the software on their Macs.

JavaHL is part of openCollabNet package, so unless they update it's no go on mac lion, unless you compile svn + JavaHL yourself.

You can try Subversive, which is an eclipse project for svn integration. However it might have the same problem on depending on this package.

[Rob Cashwalker]

subversive wasn't as intuitive as subclipse... It still requires the under-lying SVN libraries.

[Chris H.]

OK, I updated the wiki to the best of my ability. I admit to being somewhat burned out on this issue and may not add anything else to it for awhile.

`
yep.

Did you install subclipse onto Windows 32 bit? Turns out that subclipse for Windows 32 bit includes the subversion/javaHL code.

thanks for your hard work, Chris!

Thanks to all involved!

Unfortunately I'm still getting an error from pom.xml I've tried updating maven dependencies and tried updating to HEAD, but I'm getting missing artifacts, specifically"

Code: Select all

Missing artifact com.jgoodies:forms:jar:1.2.1

and

Code: Select all

Missing artifact org.apache.axis:axis:jar:1.4

The transfers keep timing out with

Is it something I've missed or could the sites just be down? I'm on Windows XP, using Eclipse (Indigo release)

I don't know enough about maven to say this will definitely help, but from the exception message it sounds like the "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases" checkbox (In Maven's Update Dependencies dialog) could help.

Yip, that fixed it. Thanks! I guess my DSL is a little slow (had a similar problem with initial import timing out while grabbing cardsfolder, but could just do a normal update to get the last few files in that instance).
