Building OmeroInsight with Eclipse

[jtzucker]

Hi All,

I am really impressed by all the great quality work done with the Omero project !
I have just started trying to do my first Eclipse build with Omero and would love some pointers/instructions/etc...

I downloaded the insight software from svn...trunk just fine. I Installed Eclipse and the Java JDK. Eclipse comes up fine and then I imported the project into Eclipse using the trunk/.project file. When I do an Eclipse clean/compile the build seems to happen with many warnings, but I cannot see any output files produced. So what I need help with is how to produce the output files, what format will they be in (.exe or .jars) and how to run them from within Eclipse (if this is possible).

Any and all help will be most appreciated !!!
Jay

Hi

First, Thanks for your kind words.

We transitioned to git at the end of January, so if you want to use the latest code you will have to use git.
See http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... /downloads

From Eclipse, you can use ant to build the insight and editor client.
From the ant tab, select the build.xml located in insight.build package, you will then have to link the jars
listed under tools to get things running.
You should see a list of target depending on what you wish to build.
