custom-eclipse-ide

A maven eclipse plugin project for building customized eclipse IDE.

Goals

The project has these goals:

• To build customized eclipse IDE with customized feature set by pulling features from update sites when requirements cannot be met by feature sets of the official releases.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/apuex/custom-eclipse-ide.git

Add Repositories

cd custom-eclipse-ide/releng/repo.config
vim pom.xml

Add you favorite feature repository site to the <repositories/> section, with your favorite text editor. Add Scala IDE repository, for instance,

...
<properties>
  <scala-ide-repo.url>http://downloads.typesafe.com/scalaide/sdk/lithium/e47/scala212/stable/site</scala-ide-repo.url>
</properties>
<repositories>
  ...
  <repository>
    <id>scala-ide</id>
    <url>${scala-ide-repo.url}</url>
    <layout>p2</layout>
  </repository>
</repositories>
...

Create Your Customized Eclipse Project

There are already pre-packed custom eclipse ide projects included for reference. You may

• Edit the releng/xxx.product/xxx.product or,
• Copy/Paste/Find/Replace, and add it as a module to releng/pom.xml... enjoy.

Add Features/Plugins to Customized Eclipse

Add eclipse features instead of individual plugins, if your favorite feature is already packaged as feature, since it is too verbose to add individual plugins by hand.
