Note
titleExternal Dependencies

When working with external libraries such as org.lcsim, you have to add those libraries to the build path. This can be done by right-clicking on the project and selecting "Properties->Java Build Path->External Libraries". Select add external jar and choose the Jars from your JAS3 installation path. They are in the subdirectories extensions and libs as well as in $HOME/.JAS3/extensions

LCSim with Europa

Maven 2 is well-supported by Europa with the Q for Eclipse plugin.

...

  1. Checkout GeomConverter and org.lcsim.
  2. In each project directory, execute this (Unix/Linux) command.
    No Format
    ln -s pom2.xml pom.xml
    .
  3. Build GeomConverter, first, and then org.lcsim with the
    No Format
    mvn
    command.
  4. If it complains about missing lcsim-base, then checkout this project from SLAC CVS and build it, too.
  5. Get an appropriate Eclipse Europa build. (I am using Eclipse 3.3.1.1 on OSX with Java 1.5.)
  6. Unpack and install the Eclipse build and open Eclipse by double-clicking on its icon. (In OSX, this is eclipse.app.)
  7. Go to Help -> Software Updates -> Look for new features to install. Click Next.
  8. Click New Remote Site.
  9. Put q4e in the name and use this URL:
    No Format
    http://q4e.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/updatesite/
    .
  10. Click through the rest of the q4e install (should be pretty brainless).
  11. Select File -> New -> Java Project.
  12. Name the project "LCSim".
  13. Select create project from existing source and locate an existing LCSim installation or check one outselect your org.lcsim directory.
  14. Hit Next a couple times and then Finish.
  15. I usually use command-line Maven 2 here:
    No Format
    mvn eclipse:eclipse
  16. It might also work to try right-clicking on the LCSim project and selecting Maven 2 -> Execute Goal. In the command box, put eclipse:eclipse and ok.
  17. Right-click on the LCSim project in the Project Explorer window .Click and click Refresh.
  18. Select Maven 2 -> Reload Maven and let Eclipse think.
  19. Now select Maven 2 -> Enable Maven dependency management.

All If the last step executes successfully, then all the nasty red errors should go away in your source code window, and command completion should work.
